SAN DIEGO and MORRISVILLE, N.C. , Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Turquoise Health and Policy Reporter by Mercalis today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate unified visibility and interoperability across their respective price transparency and payer coverage data platforms. This partnership enables the connection of data and AI-powered and human-curated solutions between Turquoise and Policy Reporter's suite of solutions. This will support multiple use cases for life sciences manufacturers and payer/provider contract management.

"We are excited to enter into a strategic partnership with Policy Reporter," said Chris O'Dell, SVP of Market Solutions at Turquoise Health. "Our organizations have a shared vision to improve healthcare and complementary capabilities to enhance the value we deliver to our customers. By integrating Policy Reporter's advanced market coverage data platforms with Turquoise Health's cutting-edge price transparency platform, we can better empower our customers with vital new insights to drive commercial strategies forward and improve patient access to care."

US healthcare stakeholders' ability to improve clinical outcomes while ensuring long-term financial health will be enhanced by having unbiased, fully validated cost and coverage information.  With over a petabyte of provider, payer, and drug rate data shared each month, users can easily search, visualize, and benchmark costs across the healthcare marketplace.  This data will enable advanced analytics to unlock new insights and drive collaboration across multiple industry stakeholder groups.
