Lexington, MA – August 29 th , 2024 - Deerhold, a provider of price transparency business intelligence and data solutions, today announced an agreement with athenahealth, Inc. through the company’s Marketplace program. As part of the athenahealth ® Marketplace, Deerhold’s application is now available to athenahealth’s growing network of healthcare providers to enable athenahealth customers to easily search payer-provider contracted rates to:

• Identify their contracted rates within publicly available payer machine-readable files (MRFs), as well as their peers’ contracted rates in the same zip code, service area or state.
• Spot opportunities to capture market share and generate revenue by optimizing rates for procedures they already offer.
• Build a case to justify higher reimbursements in new and existing payer contracts as well as No Surprises Act-related claims.
• Identify the most promising locations, service offerings, and acquisition targets for practice expansion.

The Deerhold platform incorporates best practices developed from over two decades of healthcare data management experience to convert massive, complex data from payer machine-readable files (MRFs) into comprehensive intelligence. Then, Deerhold’s Contract Rate Explorer product makes it simple to search and browse this platform for insights relevant to practices and use cases.
