I think this is especially relevant when it comes to things that fall under disclosure & transparency requirements - a lot of information that is legally required to be made available isn't legally required to be convenient. So, as a patient, you may have the absolute right[1] to a free copy of the charge master[2] of a hospital you're admitted to but it could be required that you pick it up in person or that it is only supplied in microfliche form... so a company that's aggregated this and is reselling it can deliver real value.

2. Basically, list of how much procedures cost.
