Inside Rate Change: Track Shifts. Spot Leverage. Negotiate Smarter.

In today’s reimbursement landscape, knowing the rate is only part of the equation. Understanding how it’s changed and why is where the real leverage lives.

That’s where Rate Change comes in. As part of Trek’s platform, the Rate Change module helps provider organizations monitor payer behavior over time, quantify shifts in negotiated rates, and anticipate what’s coming next.

If our Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) tells you where you stand, Rate Change shows you how you got there — and where you might be heading.

What Is Rate Change?

Rate Change is Trek’s interactive report that shows payer rates over time quarter by quarter. It empowers health systems to track reimbursement dynamics quarter-over-quarter across both their own contracts and the market at large.

Whether you’re preparing for a negotiation, identifying outliers, or watching for signs of margin erosion, Rate Change gives you the tools to act with confidence.

  • Equip teams with clear proof points for negotiation
  • Monitor reimbursement shifts before they impact margins
  • Track payer-specific behavior over time
