Data Solutions

Health care pricing is public. Understanding it isn't.

Third Horizon's data solutions are powered by the Starset Analytics Platform, a proprietary health care intelligence data system.

Starset takes the massive pricing files containing contracted rates that insurance companies and hospitals are now required to publish under federal price transparency mandates, and makes them actually usable.

By integrating claims, provider directories, episode grouping logic, and quality data, the platform delivers a unified view of price transparency data by service, payer or market - accessible through AI natural language querying, flat file, API, MCP and embedded advisory for reimbursement intelligence, behavioral health pricing, and network cost analytics.

Three solutions, one data foundation.

Third Horizon's platform solutions leveraging price transparency data scale from single-solution subscriptions to enterprise-wide deployments embedded in advisory engagements. Whether you need validated data to strengthen a negotiation, evidence to support a policy position, or intelligence infrastructure to power your own analytics, we built Starset to meet you where you are.

Starset Data Service

Contract rate datasets by geography, code, payer, and provider - see what every payer actually pays every provider for any service, in any market.

  • Clean, standardized data at national scale - processing pipeline built by health care engineers and actuaries.
  • Deep expertise to thin billions of records down to relevant data for your specific question.
  • Every record validated against a national database of raw claims and confidence-scored, so the rates you see reflect what's actually paid.

Starset Odin

AI-powered search tool built specifically so you can ask your question in plain english and get a clear, reliable answer - in seconds.

  • Ask anything - rates, networks, market benchmarks - no technical search logic needed.
  • Visual charts and sortable tables rendered beside the conversation
  • Exports - one-click CSV of the current view, plus a full-dataset export that streams up to 100,000 rows.

Starset Rate Compass

First-of-its-kind subscription tool to access contract rates for every mental health and substance use disorder service, in one place.

  • Inpatient · Residential · PHP · IOP · Outpatient — each with its billing codes, the rates by payer, and the 20 highest negotiated rates by provider type. SUD levels of care follow the ASAM criteria.
  • For each payer: access the most common rate, the peak rate, and the upper bound where the published rates support one.
  • A state subscription includes all of it: the benchmarks, the comparison against Medicare and Medicaid rates, and the Opportunity Calculator.
