CARSON CITY, Nev., November 2026 – HealthRate, Inc., a healthcare price discovery and procurement platform for catastrophic claims, today announced a partnership with Stonebrook Risk Solutions. Together they will help health plans and self-funded employers manage the cost of high-dollar specialty care.
Stonebrook brings clinical and cost management expertise across several disciplines. HealthRate adds a platform that compares specialty-network contract rates for complex care, including organ and bone marrow transplants and cell and gene therapies.
Through the partnership, HealthRate will incorporate its capabilities into Stonebrook’s existing platform and ecosystem. Stonebrook clients can see their cost and quality options and compare specialty networks before a network is selected and care begins. That gives them more choice and more control over some of the largest claims a plan will face, and it builds on Stonebrook's coordinated approach to clinical and cost management.
“Payers that carry the risk for transplants and cell and gene therapies almost always have more than one rate available to them through different specialty networks. Exploring those options before care begins is simply prudent, and for many plan sponsors it’s part of their fiduciary duty. Stonebrook already helps clients manage complex care, and this partnership makes it easier for them to review and compare their options.”
Tim Michaels, Founder and CEO of HealthRate
“Catastrophic claims represent some of the most significant financial exposures facing health plans and self-funded employers. Our partnership with HealthRate strengthens Stonebrook's ability to address these costs through greater pricing transparency, informed network selection, and measurable financial accountability. By incorporating HealthRate's specialty-network price discovery capabilities into our broader clinical cost-management platform, we can help our clients achieve better financial outcomes while maintaining access to high-quality care.”
Mark Angard, CEO of Stonebrook Risk Solutions
