About

From raw payer files to a rate you can defend.

Our process turns the chaos of payer machine-readable files into confidence-scored rate intelligence — and hands you a number you can take into a contract conversation and stand behind.

How the work happens

Six steps from raw disclosure to a defensible ask. The same pipeline runs underneath every offering — self-serve, custom report, or consulting.

  1. 01

    Extract from the source

    We ingest payers' machine-readable files — the Transparency in Coverage rate disclosures — at national scale, streaming files that run to tens of gigabytes each.

  2. 02

    Normalize & resolve

    The raw data is messy: the same facility shows up across NPIs, TINs, and DBAs, behind carve-outs and rented networks. We resolve identity and untangle networks so a rate maps to the real provider.

  3. 03

    Benchmark against peers

    We compare each rate to what payers actually pay comparable facilities — same market, same service line, same facility class — so the number has a peer cohort behind it, not a national blur.

  4. 04

    Score for confidence & context

    Every rate carries its context: data vintage, provenance, and how it was reached. You see actual rates with confidence and context — real data, read correctly, never a modeled estimate.

  5. 05

    Package a negotiation-ready output

    Self-serve in Workbench or as a custom report: your gap versus benchmark, your peer position, and a defensible target ask you can put straight in front of a payer.

  6. 06

    You negotiate — we're beside you

    You lead the payer conversation with the numbers in hand. We bring the data, the context, and the strategy alongside you, at every step.

We don't negotiate for you — we put you in the position to negotiate. TierBench arms you with the actual rates, the peer context, and the strategy so you lead your own payer conversations — with us beside you at every step, never in your place.

What makes the output trustworthy

Actual rates, not estimates

The differentiator is real contracted rates pulled from payer files — presented as confidence-scored intelligence, with the context to read them right.

National coverage

We work across the country, not a single region — so peer comparisons hold wherever you operate.

Built for behavioral health

Entity resolution, carve-outs, and service-line nuance are tuned for BH — where the messy reality usually hides the real rate.
