# Report Creation Overview

> Guides for using PriceMedic's report creation process

PriceMedic is an analytics platform that enables healthcare providers to understand their reimbursement landscape using transparency in coverage data.

## Report Creation Process

The report creation process consists of five main steps:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Payer Selection">
    Choose one or multiple payers whose reimbursement data you want to analyze. Consider whether you need single-payer reports for interactive analysis or multi-payer reports for export and external analysis.

  <Step title="Procedure Selection">
    Select the medical billing codes you want to analyze. The platform supports various code types including CPT, HCPCS, ICD-10, and more. You can filter by billing code types, modifiers, negotiation arrangements, billing classes, and negotiated types.

  <Accordion title="Single vs Multi-Payer Reports">
    * **Single-payer reports** are best for interactive analysis using PriceMedic's native filter and analytics features
    * **Multi-payer reports** are ideal for data export to spreadsheets, Power BI, Tableau, or development teams
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Optimizing Report Scope">
    Use the Market Summary section to ensure you have an appropriate number of organizations in your analysis. Too few may not provide meaningful insights, while too many may affect performance.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Data Export Considerations">
    Consider the size of your export when planning multi-payer reports. For large datasets beyond CSV export capabilities, contact your PriceMedic Account Executive about Data Shipping options.
