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 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 expansion of its platform and offerings. The newest injection of capital will go towards the launch of further transparent pricing workflows, bringing added value to its customer base of over 160 healthcare organizations.

- Empathetic & Inclusive - Healthcare was founded on the principle of empathy for the patient. We strive to be an extension of that principle by building an organization that cares for its people and seeks out ways to improve
- Building Smart - We are part realist, part dreamer as we build products for a simpler, more transparent healthcare system. We won’t reinvent the wheel, but we will question whether the wheel is necessary
- Courageously Optimistic - Changing healthcare is hard. We maintain an unrelenting optimism that we can and are making a difference, all while sticking to our values and doing what is right
