Turquoise Health
Turquoise Health is a healthcare price transparency platform. Its public developer surface is the Consumer Pricing API — a documented OpenAPI 3.1.0 REST API at api.turquoise.health covering providers, payers, networks, Standard Service Packages, and cash and insurer-negotiated rates for shoppable services, plus personalized out-of-pocket estimates computed by layering a member's live X12 270/271 eligibility and accumulators onto a negotiated rate. The same OAuth 2.0 client-credentials token also authenticates a hosted Model Context Protocol server at consumer-mcp.turquoise.health, which exposes five workflow-shaped pricing tools to AI agents. Turquoise also sells platform tiers for market intelligence, contract intelligence and precision contracting to providers, payers and life sciences organizations, generates CMS-compliant machine-readable files, and publishes free public tools including the Medicare Pricer, payer transparency scores and a hospital transparency tracker.
Turquoise Health publishes 3 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Consumer Pricing API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Healthcare, Price Transparency, Hospital Rates, Payer Rates, and Machine-Readable Files.
The Turquoise Health catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Turquoise Health’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, authentication, and 33 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Payer Interoperability (CAQH CORE, X12, Da Vinci, WEDI) | standard | 26.8 (thin) | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
