The Research Assistant

Industry-leading AI on the industry’s most complete dataset

Any AI is only as good as the data behind it. Payerset’s Research Assistant™ runs on the entire published price transparency corpus, at the most detailed level with no rollups or aggregates, to ensure accuracy.

A full research team, for every user

Guided by Payerset’s knowledge base, it scopes the question, builds the full provider and code universe, pulls every relevant source, and validates before it answers. Every user on your team gets that firepower.

Real rates, never estimates

Every number it surfaces is a real, observed negotiated rate from the source records. It never averages or blends rates into a synthetic figure, and every answer arrives with the evidence behind it.

Every dataset that matters

Transparency data is the foundation. The Research Assistant triangulates it against all-payer claims and remits, payer policies, and dozens of Medicare and Medicaid datasets, so no rate ever stands alone.

Enterprise-grade by default

Per-user OAuth 2.0 on every platform, with your organization’s data rights, entitlements, and usage terms verified on every request. Nothing is indexed into the AI platform, and access can be revoked centrally.

In practice

Ask bigger questions

The Research Assistant runs each question like a full research engagement: it scopes the market, pulls every relevant source, validates the numbers, and answers with the evidence attached. Work that used to take a week comes back in minutes.

“How do our joint replacement rates compare to every other health system in our market?”

“Why is Anthem paying us so much less for imaging than everyone else?”

“Which payers are underpaying us the most on our highest-volume codes?”

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Payerset Research Assistant™?
The Payerset Research Assistant™ is Payerset’s AI capability, delivered as an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Gemini Enterprise. It plans and executes real research on your licensed Payerset data: it scopes the question, pulls every relevant source, validates the results, and presents a defensible answer with the evidence behind it.
How is the Payerset Research Assistant different from a chatbot on a database?
The Payerset Research Assistant™ is different from a chatbot on a database because it carries Payerset’s knowledge base with it: a research methodology built from years of work in this data. The Payerset Research Assistant knows how each payer files, when a number needs validation, and when an absence is itself a finding. Every rate it surfaces is a real, observed number, never a synthetic average.
What data does the Payerset Research Assistant work with?
The Payerset Research Assistant™ works with the entire published price transparency corpus at source-record detail, with full history and no rollups or aggregates. The Payerset Research Assistant triangulates negotiated rates against hospital filings, all-payer claims and remits, payer policies, and dozens of Medicare and Medicaid datasets, all scoped to your Payerset license.
Which AI platforms does the Payerset Research Assistant support?
The Payerset Research Assistant™ supports all four major AI platforms: Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Gemini Enterprise (Google). The Payerset Research Assistant is the first healthcare price transparency MCP server available in every one, with customers in production on each, and the same hosted endpoint serves all four.
How is access to the Payerset Research Assistant secured and governed?
Access to the Payerset Research Assistant™ is secured with per-user OAuth 2.0 on every platform. Data is retrieved live at request time rather than indexed into the AI platform, entitlements are enforced server-side on every call, and access can be revoked centrally at any time. Platform administrators can also narrow which Payerset tools the AI may invoke.
How long does it take to connect the Payerset Research Assistant?
Connecting the Payerset Research Assistant™ takes minutes on most platforms: an administrator registers the hosted Payerset endpoint, then each user signs in with their own Payerset account. There is nothing to download or host. Step-by-step guides for each platform are at docs.payerset.com.
