SmithTech

SmithTech is a SaaS platform for healthcare cost transparency that lets you compare hospital charges and make more informed decisions about care.

It runs as a web service with three tiers, and the Basic and Professional plans are $0 per month during the beta.

Basic Access suits individuals who want to compare hospital charges.

It has limited search and covers Chicago area hospitals only, so the geographic reach is narrow for now.

Professional is geared toward healthcare professionals and insurance agents, and adds advanced search and filtering, data export and detailed cost comparisons.

Enterprise is for healthcare organizations with specific data needs.

It includes everything in Professional plus API access, custom data integrations and dedicated support, with pricing handled through Contact Sales.

SmithTech is most useful if your work depends on seeing what hospitals actually charge.
