Healthcare & Insurance Market Research

Research reports on patient feedback, local providers and insurance markets, using public records and published reviews.

What you get

  • Patient Experience Benchmarking

    Compare patient sentiment, satisfaction patterns, and experience quality from real patient discussions, not just survey responses.

  • Provider Competitive Analysis

    Map competitive positioning across service lines, specialties, geographic coverage, and patient preference patterns in your market.

  • Insurance Market Intelligence

    Track consumer sentiment toward insurance products, complaint patterns, coverage satisfaction, and competitive positioning across carriers and plan types.

  • Regulatory Impact Monitoring

    Monitor CMS policy changes, state insurance regulations, compliance requirements, and their potential impact on your organization.

  • Industry Payment Relationship Analysis

    Analyze CMS Open Payments disclosures of drug and device company payments to healthcare providers, alongside patient sentiment and public provider records, to map industry relationships.

  • Healthcare Workforce Signals

    Track provider hiring patterns, staffing challenges, compensation trends, and workforce satisfaction signals that affect service delivery and competition.

  3. Step 3
    Clinical Market Analysis

    AI agents analyze patterns across patient sentiment, competitive positioning, regulatory impact, and market dynamics with healthcare-specific context.

  4. Step 4
    Strategic Report

    Delivered with patient experience benchmarks, competitive maps, regulatory implications, and prioritized strategic recommendations.

Scope, methods and delivery

The problem we address

Healthcare intelligence is siloed and expensive. Patient-experience platforms and syndicated market reports are built for large health systems and broad segments. Meanwhile, patients describe their experiences in detail on review platforms and online forums, and turning that into a competitive read on one service line or one rival practice is slow work to do by hand.

Our approach

We aggregate patient discussions, provider reviews, insurance complaints, CMS payment data, NPI registry information, and regulatory changes across verified government and public data sources. Our reports reveal patient experience differentiators, provider competitive positioning, insurance market dynamics, and emerging trends, with patient discussions read alongside the public records.

What healthcare intelligence covers beyond the standard reports

Category-level market reports rarely reach the individual institution. What institution-level research adds:

  • Which providers disclose financial relationships with drug and medical device companies in CMS Open Payments
  • Where FDA enforcement and adverse-event reporting is surfacing emerging device or pharma issues
  • Which competitor health systems show physicians changing practice locations in NPI Registry updates, checked against current health-system directories and other staffing evidence
  • Where consumer-discussion patterns are surfacing service-quality issues in adjacent insurance and revenue-cycle competitors

The data fabric for healthcare-insurance CI

Engagements cross-reference:

  • FDA enforcement and recall data (pharma, devices, food)
  • CMS Open Payments physician-payment records — transparency data most operators never analyze
  • HHS-OIG enforcement actions
  • NPI database for provider-level intelligence
  • MAUDE medical-device adverse-event reports, interpreted alongside other evidence and the FDA's stated data limitations
  • State insurance commissioner enforcement records
  • Archived patient and provider discussions from health-related forum and Reddit communities
  • Review-platform sentiment from healthcare-specific platforms (Healthgrades, Vitals, Zocdoc) and general platforms

What you receive

Healthcare-insurance engagements deliver three product types:

  • Competitive analysis — covers competitor health systems, provider groups, payers, life-sciences companies, or healthcare-services vendors
  • Patient and member sentiment intelligence — complaint patterns and switching signals from review platforms and discussion data
  • Regulatory and compliance monitoring — HHS, CMS, FDA, state insurance commissioners, and emerging litigation patterns

Where this fits

This works for mid-sized health systems and provider groups, multi-state payers running competitive strategy, life-sciences companies in commercial-stage drug or device launches, healthcare-services vendors selling into provider organizations, and healthcare investors running diligence on targets.

It doesn't fit single-physician practices where the research-tier engagement is overkill.

Healthcare & Insurance questions

Do you have access to CMS and NPI data?
Yes. We maintain CMS Open Payments records and integrate with the NPI Registry for provider identification. This data is cross-referenced with patient sentiment and competitive intelligence.
How does this compare to Press Ganey or Definitive Healthcare?
Press Ganey brings together surveys, online reviews, social media and other patient feedback for the providers that use it. Definitive Healthcare focuses on provider data and market sizing. We do something narrower: a finished report on a specific question, such as how patients talk about a rival practice or service line, built from public sources and tied to them.
Can you analyze specific specialties or service lines?
Yes. We can focus on specific medical specialties, service lines, or even individual procedures. The more specific your question, the more practical the intelligence.
Is patient data handled in compliance with HIPAA?
We only analyze publicly available data: patient reviews, discussion forum posts, and public regulatory filings. We do not access, store, or process protected health information (PHI). All data sources are public and our analysis stays within public domain boundaries.
How much does healthcare competitive intelligence cost?
Healthcare intelligence reports start at $500 for a Quick Scan. Full competitive analysis with patient sentiment, CMS payment data, provider ratings, and regulatory tracking runs $2,000-$12,000. All research is HIPAA-aware: we use only publicly available data and never access protected health information.
What healthcare-specific data sources do you use?
CMS Open Payments (physician payment records), NPI Registry (provider lookup), CFPB healthcare complaints, FDA enforcement actions, FDA device recalls, patient review platforms (Healthgrades, Vitals, Google Reviews), and multi-year archives of healthcare discussion data covering patient experiences, insurance complaints, and provider quality perceptions.
