What is a medical practice's data worth to an AI buyer?

Mercor's listing for medical practices puts a deal at $80,000 to $820,000 ("Depends on patient count and note depth"). It asks for 10+ clinicians or 2,500+ patients (United States preferred; other countries considered). What moves an offer within the range is what the listing names: how complete the records are, how far back they go and whether you can license them.

What exactly does the buyer ask for?

Mercor's listing asks for "An EHR that holds free-text physician notes, not only structured fields", "At least 2,500 patients or 10 clinicians", "Longitudinal records: visit notes, problem lists, medications, allergies, vitals and lab results", "Records that can be de-identified to HIPAA Safe Harbor or Expert Determination". It would also like "Oncology, cardiology, neurology, rheumatology, behavioral health, women's health or rare-disease patients", "CPT and E&M coding with the documentation behind it, plus claims", "Imaging reports linked to patients", "Wearable or app data linked to the same patients". It rules out "Synthetic or sample charts", "Records without physician notes", "Data already licensed exclusively through a broker".

What will a buyer ask us first?

Mercor's listing names its first questions: "Which EHR do you use, and how many patients and years does it cover?", "Which specialties do you see?", "Who handles de-identification today, if anyone?", "Is any of your data already under a licensing agreement?". Have the answers before you start.

How do we sell through you?

Start with the valuation. We don't take patient and health records to market. No buyer we introduce companies to has yet said in writing that it takes health information about people or information about children, so today the valuation tells you where such records go instead: Health-data specialists license records like these with the provider itself: they sign a business associate agreement, de-identify the records inside the provider's own systems and have an expert certify the result.

Years of physicians' notes are what AI data buyers ask medical practices for. HIPAA decides how they can go.

Physician practices, multi-specialty groups, urgent care, behavioural health and specialty clinics with years of patient records in an EHR: physician-owners and practice administrators deciding whether those records can be licensed.

AIData.Broker values what you hold against public prices. Records that are not health information about people or information about children we sell for you, described without your name to every buyer whose published rules they meet, with our fee due only if a sale closes. Health information about people or information about children we do not take to market, and today no buyer we introduce companies to has said in writing that it takes them, so the valuation tells you where they go.

Can a medical practice sell de-identified patient records to AI companies?

Potentially, if the records are de-identified before they leave. Mercor's listing for medical practices asks for EHR records with physicians' free-text notes for at least 2,500 patients or 10 clinicians, and puts a deal at $80,000 to $820,000. Under HIPAA, records stop being protected health information only when the eighteen Safe Harbor identifiers are removed or an expert certifies in writing that re-identification is very unlikely; free-text notes make the first hard to meet, and whoever de-identifies inside your systems signs a business associate agreement first.

What raises the value

Real free-text notes written by physicians, not only structured fields.
Many years per patient, so a buyer sees how care unfolds.
Specialties buyers ask for most, and patients with conditions that are hard to find.
De-identification certified by an expert before anything moves.
History the listing measures in its own words: "12+ months of visits per patient".

What lowers the value

What the listing rules out: "Synthetic or sample charts", "Records without physician notes", "Data already licensed exclusively through a broker".

A line that quotes a buyer names it. The others are our checklist, drawn from the factors buyers state in general: no buyer publishes how much each one moves a price. How often each factor matters across 156 kinds of data.

The rights to settle first

These stop a sale more often than price does. Each can be settled before any buyer sees a record.

The full rights checklist

In a business that provides or pays for care, nearly every record about a patient is protected health information under HIPAA, emails, schedules and invoices included. Licensing it is a sale that needs every patient's signed authorisation, unless a certified expert has signed off its de-identification, and whoever receives it to prepare it becomes the provider's business associate by law.
HIPAA knows two ways to de-identify: removing the eighteen Safe Harbor identifiers, or an expert's written determination that the risk of re-identification is very small. Free-text notes make Safe Harbor hard to meet with certainty, which is why we hold to an expert's sign-off.
Whoever de-identifies inside your systems for a buyer works as your business associate and signs an agreement saying so before seeing a record.
State laws add their own duties to consumer health data, Washington's My Health My Data Act among them.
