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 1 API on the APIs.io network: Turquoise Consumer Pricing API. 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.

Turquoise Health’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, authentication, and 28 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.

  description: REST API providing consumer-friendly healthcare price estimates — cash and insurer-negotiated rates — for shoppable
    services, addressed by Standard Service Package rather than raw billing code so every provider is priced on the same definition
    of a service. Fifteen operations across providers, payers, networks, packages, prices and personalized estimates. The
    personalized-estimates endpoints run a consented X12 270/271 eligibility check and return a member's actual cost share
    broken into deductible, copayment and coinsurance, alongside their current accumulator state. OpenAPI 3.1.0 published
    publicly and unauthenticated; all endpoints require an OAuth 2.0 client-credentials bearer token.

    Five workflow-shaped tools — find_entity, compare_prices, provider_cost_detail, explain_pricing and estimate_out_of_pocket
    — each resolving plain-language names and composing several Consumer Pricing v3 REST calls server-side. Authenticated
    with the same OAuth 2.0 client-credentials token as the REST API, carrying the read:mcp scope; interactive clients such
    as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex and Cursor can instead sign in through the browser. Currently in Public Preview.

    and GET /v3/packages/{package_id}/line_items, where line items carry a fee type and a probabilistic association rate.
    Turquoise publishes no separate standalone SSP API host.
