Pricing terms

How Surescripts pricing works

Pricing model: Quotation through a contact form. Electronic health record vendors and health systems contract directly; Sig IQ enrichment is delivered to Sig IQ enabled customers. No rate or unit of charge is published.
Implementation: Not published; access frequently obtained through a record system vendor rather than directly
Business associate agreement: Not published. Surescripts states on its privacy office page that it acts as a business associate under the privacy and security requirements of its contracts; the agreement itself and any tiering are not published.

The commercial structure makes this different from an ordinary undisclosed enterprise price. Surescripts is a network, so the paying participants are electronic health record vendors, pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers, health plans, analytics vendors and life sciences companies rather than the clinicians using it. A health system frequently receives medication history and prescribing capability through its record vendor rather than by contracting directly, which means the cost it ultimately bears is embedded in a contract it was not party to and shaped by terms it never sees. The party furthest from the negotiation is the one carrying the cost, which is an argument for more published pricing rather than less.

One structural point matters most. The company describes structured sig delivery as going to Sig IQ enabled customers, which indicates the machine learning enrichment is an option rather than a default on the network. Whether a given hospital is receiving enhanced, structured sigs therefore depends on a commercial decision taken by its record vendor, and the clinical benefit described throughout the company's material accrues only to participants for whom it has been turned on.

A second point is the permitted use boundary between products. The reconciliation product carries an explicit treatment purposes limitation; the population and analytics products sold to life sciences and analytics customers necessarily operate on a different basis, and that basis is not published.
