Introducing HPTC - Turning Hospital Price Transparency into Usable Intelligence

Hospital pricing is public.
But until now, it hasn’t been usable.
Today, we’re proud to present HPTC (Health Price Transparency Companion) - an application designed to make hospital MRF (Machine Readable File) data accessible, searchable, and actionable.
Every hospital in the U.S. publishes massive pricing files in JSON and CSV formats. While technically transparent, these files are often complex, inconsistent, and difficult to analyze without specialized tools.
That’s where HPTC comes in.
With HPTC, users can:
Explore hospital procedure pricing data in a structured way
Compare negotiated rates across hospitals
Interact with pricing data through intuitive visual components
Transform raw MRF files into meaningful insights
Built by Aktiun Labs, HPTC was developed using ChartFactor Studio to explore and analyze large-scale MRF datasets with ease.
We leveraged ChartFactor components directly within the HPTC application to power interactive analytics and visual exploration, enabling high-performance data interaction at scale.
This project reflects our deeply-held belief that:
Data transparency is only valuable when it becomes understandable.
HPTC is a step toward empowering patients, employers, researchers, and healthcare innovators with clearer pricing intelligence.
If you're interested in healthcare data, price transparency, or advanced data visualization, we’d love to connect.
