About Us
We help organizations source and consume hospital pricing data efficiently and cost-effectively.
The CMS price transparency rule requires hospitals to publicly share machine-readable pricing data. While this mandate promises better visibility, the lack of standardization creates significant complexity for anyone trying to make use of the data.
For most organizations, finding the files, interpreting their contents, and transforming them into usable data is time-consuming, costly, and operationally disruptive.
K2 Reimagine specializes exclusively in hospital pricing data. Our team has spent years sourcing, structuring, and operationalizing these datasets at scale. We help clients build efficient workflows so they can focus on insights—not data wrangling.
Sourcing & Collection
We monitor hospital websites, track updates, and collect pricing files—at scale, accurately, and on your schedule.
Analysis & Extraction
We interpret inconsistent schemas, normalize fields, and extract usable pricing intelligence from thousands of MRFs.
Customization & Delivery
We design tailored data solutions—custom schemas, business rules, and delivery formats for your workflows.
The Data
Hospital pricing data has moved from chaotic and inconsistent to structured and governed—but it’s still not turnkey.
Early hospital price transparency files were all over the map—different formats, wildly inconsistent schemas, and uneven publishing practices. We built our capabilities in that environment, solving the hard problems of finding, interpreting, and standardizing messy pricing data across thousands of hospitals.
From “anything goes” to governed MRFs
CMS’s more prescriptive rules around machine-readable files have improved structure and consistency—but expertise still matters. Our history working in the chaos uniquely positions us to help you take full advantage of today’s MRF landscape.
Before CMS standardization
- Hard-to-find files scattered across hospital sites with minimal guidance.
- MRFs published as Excel, CSV, JSON, XML, PDFs, or custom hybrids.
- No common schema—each hospital defined fields and structures differently.
- Heavy reliance on manual interpretation to make sense of pricing fields.
- Frequent, undocumented changes requiring constant re-analysis.
After CMS standardization
- More consistent schemas and clearer publishing expectations.
- Structured MRFs that still vary in quality, completeness, and documentation.
- Large file sizes and complex field sets that require careful engineering.
- Ongoing need to normalize, map, and join pricing data to your own models.
- New opportunities for robust analytics—if the ingestion is done correctly.
Our team has worked through both eras—cleaning up the early, inconsistent files and now helping organizations operationalize modern MRFs at scale. We bring practical patterns, data models, and workflows shaped by years in the trenches with real hospital data.
Whether you are just beginning to work with hospital pricing data or looking to improve an existing pipeline, we help you turn CMS-mandated MRFs into reliable, ready-to-use data products that support your pricing, analytics, and strategy teams.
