Shared Services
Social Purpose in Action
Clearcut Health, SPC, is built on the philosophy of capitalism with guardrails — balancing innovation and fairness.
Our legal structure ensures that public benefit guides every decision. We cap our margins and return any excess to our members through dividends.
This mission-driven framework lets us reimagine healthcare infrastructure as a shared public good rather than a competitive expense.
Instead of thousands of different organizations paying premium vendors to recreate the same tools, we create collaborative healthcare platforms that reduce waste, remove unnecessary profit, and make innovation accessible across the United States healthcare transparency movement and beyond.
Why Shared Services Matter
$4.5
trillion
spent annually by the US healthcare system
The United States (U.S.) healthcare system spends $4.5 trillion annually, and roughly 25 to 33 percent nearly $1 trillion goes to administrative costs. Duplicated systems and profit-driven vendors drain resources from patient care.
Our vision: Identify products and services that every healthcare organization uses, like those carrying no proprietary value and bring them to market under a shared services model that advances transparency and affordability.
By doing so, we eliminate:
Duplication of internal tools built independently by multiple systems
Excessive profit margins charged by third-party vendors
Even a 0.1% improvement equals $1 billion in potential savings. These savings can be reinvested into better care, stronger workforces, and improved access for patients across the United States.
Our Starting Point
Our first shared service is Transparency Price Data which is an excellent example of a high-cost, low-access product that should be available to everyone.
Building an internal transparency platform is expensive, and commercial vendors often charge high margins that exclude smaller healthcare groups.
Clearcut Health changes that with affordable, validated, and transparent price data through our cost model, ensuring accessibility and sustainability for all healthcare stakeholders.
How It Works
We’re not just delivering products, we’re building a community of payers, providers, and innovators who believe collaboration drives affordability. Our model revolves around: Community, Collaboration, and Cost Transparency
Community-Driven Innovation
We unite providers, payers, and innovators with a shared goal to reduce waste and make healthcare affordable. Members contribute through advisory boards and working groups to shape future shared services.
The Membership Model
Like Costco, our membership model aligns incentives, funds sustainable growth, and ensures members receive the lowest pricing on healthcare data services. Membership supports high-quality products at low margins proving that affordability and excellence can coexist.
Access to Products
Members gain full access to our transparency pricing platform, benchmark reports, and APIs. As Clearcut Health grows, members automatically unlock new shared services creating a flywheel of affordability and innovation.
The Bigger Picture
Clearcut Health’s Shared Services program represents more than efficiency — it’s a blueprint for a healthier, more equitable healthcare system. By reducing waste and sharing resources, we enable healthcare organizations to compete on quality and outcomes, not administrative complexity.
