About Us

The Smart Health Network (SHN) is an independent, neutral public benefit corporation designed to give patients control over their health information, improve cost transparency, and streamline access to care.

Established to serve as a common utility for the healthcare ecosystem, SHN is building the infrastructure to connect patients, providers, and payers —ensuring seamless data-sharing, real-time cost transparency, and automated prior authorizations.

Our Mission

We believe healthcare should be simple, transparent, and patient-centered. SHN is building the tools to empower people with:
✅ One place to access health records, insurance details, and pricing information
✅ Real-time cost estimates to avoid surprise medical bills
✅ Seamless prior authorization to speed up care
✅ Better coordination between payers and providers to improve outcomes

A Public-Private Partnership for Healthcare Innovation

SHN was created to build on federal transparency and interoperability mandates—not just to meet regulatory requirements, but to make them work for real people. By aligning the healthcare ecosystem around a shared, trusted platform, we can reduce inefficiencies, cut administrative costs, and ensure that patients can make more informed healthcare decisions.
