Signal is Serif Health's MRF search platform that enables providers, consultants, and analysts to quickly query payer-posted negotiated rates by code, payer, provider, taxonomy, or region. It allows you to easily search and compare price transparency data.

Providers, consultants, analysts, network design specialists, and payer contracting leaders use Signal to benchmark rates, prepare for negotiations, and identify market opportunities.

How is Signal different from other MRF tools?

Unlike other MRF search tools that return 'junk' data, Signal cleans, validates, and benchmarks payer-posted rates to provide clear, actionable insights without extra noise. Our data experts have also constructed data crosswalks that truly makes the data apples:apple (see our blog on anesthesia rates: https://www.serifhealth.com/blog/cleaning-up-the-noise-in-anesthesia-rates).

What type of data can I explore in Signal?

What customers see when the data finally makes sense

“Serif has been a tremendous partner for our organization. The data and tools they provide are comprehensive and easy to use. Equally as important, the Serif team is knowledgeable, responsive and consultative in how they engage with us to collaboratively solve more specific business needs for our company.”

Rohit Singh, Chief Strategy & Growth Officer

Axia Women's Health

“Using the data from Serif has been incredibly helpful for our payor negotiations. There is no longer a mystery about where you stand in the market.”

Bret Hicks, Director of Finance

Tucson Medical Center

“Signal makes complex MRF data easy to use. Other tools we looked at returned significantly more 'junk' data and clutter that made us do extra work. As a multispecialty provider with several surgery centers, Serif equalizes the knowledge disparity between payers and providers.”

Chief Network Officer

Multispecialty Provider with several ASCs

“Serif's APIs have given us deep insight into providers and provider relationships. Access to this data has significantly improved our ability to find the right provider data when querying patient eligibility and benefits on behalf of our customers. The Serif APIs are well documented and easy to integrate - we were up and running in days.”
