Our take
Turquoise Health empowers patients to make informed care decisions through price transparency. By providing a platform for comparing prices across different hospitals, they allow consumers to compare healthcare costs the same way many search for a hotel or flights.
Regardless of new rules and legislation, the healthcare industry has continued to provide limited insight into the exact costs of care. This keeps patients from understanding the price of care in advance, often resulting in surprise billing. Turquoise's platform makes it easier for hospitals and payers to comply with price transparency regulations, supporting patients to make the best decisions for their healthcare and their wallets.
The company has raised impressive funding, which has already supported the expansion of its platform and offerings. An injection of capital in 2024 will go towards the launch of further transparent pricing workflows, bringing added value to its customer base of over 160 healthcare organisations.
