Comparing just the price of a hip replacement is difficult, because there are so many other services that will bundled in with a hip replacement (anesthesia etc) that may not be represented in the service price alone.
The "average cost by diagnosis code a patient comes in with" transparency requirement is an attempt at solving that, but doesn't differentiate between insurance plans.
Also, I love OpenStreetMap, thanks for your work on that!
Compliance seems pretty good. The ones I haven't imported are because they're using an unusual format. Compliance on the new 2021 rule about payer-negotiated charges seems very spotty though.
For us, the revenue model isn't this site itself. It's other work we do in the industry - this just helps us get notice and leads to the other things we can build on top of this data in combination with other data. I'd be happy to chat more about this if you were ever interested.
Side note - I'm a long, long time OSM fan and contributor. Thanks!
