How we keep this honest

Every privacy and editorial commitment ClearPrice Health™ makes points to something you can verify — an automated check that runs every time the site changes, a policy page, or a public file in our source code. If a claim below has no link, it’s a design constraint of the dataset itself.

What we don’t do

Constraints we engineer the site around. Each one is either checked automatically every time the site updates, or made impossible by the structure of the data we accept.

  • No third-party trackers on health pages

    The consumer atlas loads no LinkedIn Insight Tag, no Meta/Facebook pixel, no TikTok pixel, no Google Ads pixel, and no programmatic display advertising. Google Analytics 4 is the one analytics script we run, configured aggregate-only with Consent Mode v2 ads-denied defaults.

    Verified by automated testing every site update

  • No PHI, claims data, symptoms, or identifiers

    We never ingest health information, insurance-claim records, prescription history, lab results, or any data tied to an identifiable patient. Everything on this site is derived from public hospital MRFs published under 45 CFR §180.50.

    Verified by Privacy Policy — §2 What we don't do

  • No paid placement, no money from hospitals or payers

    No hospital, payer, insurer, or third party can pay us to elevate, hide, reorder, or alter any data on the site. Rankings flow from the underlying CMS-mandated price data and methodology — never from commercial relationships.

    Verified by Editorial Policy

  • No private rate data

    Only what hospitals are required to publish under federal price-transparency rules. We do not have, do not buy, and do not negotiate access to any non-public rate information.

What we promise

Commitments that go beyond what the federal price-transparency rule requires — what we add to the underlying data so the comparisons read straight.

  • 14-day corrections SLA

    If you spot a number that looks wrong, email us. We acknowledge within 5 business days and either correct the data or explain why the source MRF reads the way it does, within 14 calendar days.

  • Government-payer exclusion on every aggregate

    Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, VA, ChampVA, and federal-contract carriers (e.g., Health Net Federal Services) are excluded from every commercial-rate aggregate. Their rates would dilute the median that matters for a typical insured patient.

  • Consent Mode v2 + GPC cookieless

    GA4 is initialised with all advertising consent slots denied. If your browser exposes Global Privacy Control, analytics_storage is denied entirely — no _ga cookie is set and only a cookieless aggregated ping is sent. Data retention is the 2-month minimum.

    Verified by Privacy Policy — Analytics

  • Publicly-disclosed source data, fully attributed

    The underlying CMS-mandated MRFs are required public disclosures under 45 CFR §180.50 — no Creative Commons or other license claim attaches to them. We attribute every derived figure to its source hospital and methodology. Hospital coordinates are geocoded against OpenStreetMap data via Nominatim, under the OSM attribution license.

    Verified by Methodology

  • Source-truthful — no inferred prices

    Every figure on the site is a number a hospital published itself. We do not estimate, model, or crowdsource prices. If a hospital's MRF cannot be parsed, that hospital is omitted rather than guessed at.
