How does Turquoise Health coverage compare to ProcedureRadar?

Turquoise Health operates at national scale with hospital MRF data plus payer-negotiated TiC rates from hundreds of payers. ProcedureRadar covers the top 100 US metros and 2,000+ priced hospitals. If you need full national reach or payer-negotiated rates today, Turquoise has more breadth. Where ProcedureRadar goes deeper is statistical rigor: verified-cohort severity distributions (p25 through p99) with BCa confidence intervals that Turquoise public materials do not document.

Does Turquoise Health have payer-negotiated rates? Does ProcedureRadar?

Turquoise Health ingests payer Transparency in Coverage (TiC) machine-readable files alongside hospital MRFs, which means they serve payer-negotiated contract rates today. ProcedureRadar currently serves hospital MRF data only; payer-negotiated TiC rates are on our roadmap, not yet shipped.

How do I get access to Turquoise Health versus ProcedureRadar?

Turquoise Health is enterprise and sales-led. You contact their team for a custom quote and implementation scope; no pricing is listed anywhere on their site. ProcedureRadar is a self-serve API subscription starting at $799/mo, with instant key provisioning and no sales call required.

How current is each platform data?

Turquoise Health ingests payer MRF data monthly and hospital data as hospitals publish updated files. ProcedureRadar re-ingests hospital MRFs on a rolling monthly pipeline. Both platforms pull from the same upstream federal mandate, the rules requiring hospitals and payers to publish machine-readable pricing files.

Why trust ProcedureRadar data if Turquoise is a larger platform?

ProcedureRadar sources exclusively from federally mandated hospital MRFs under 45 CFR Part 180 and attributes every record back to the originating hospital file. We publish a public methodology white-paper and a downloadable verified data sample so you can audit what you're buying before you commit. Turquoise covers more ground nationally. We cover the top 100 US metros with documented statistical rigor: severity distributions, BCa confidence intervals, and source attribution on every record.

What the Differences Mean

How You Buy: Self-Serve vs Enterprise Sales

Turquoise Health is sales-led. Their pricing isn't listed anywhere public, so every conversation starts with their sales team and ends with a custom quote. ProcedureRadar is a self-serve monthly subscription from $799/mo with instant key provisioning and no sales call required. For a mid-market team that can't move a six-figure deal, that's not just a pricing difference. It's whether there's a product to buy at all.

Coverage: Where Turquoise Is Bigger

We'll be straight about this one. Turquoise operates at national scale across both hospital MRF and payer Transparency in Coverage data. ProcedureRadar covers the top 100 US metros and 2,000+ priced hospitals. If full national reach is your requirement today, Turquoise has more breadth. We focus on the metros where the B2B demand is densest and hospital price data is richest, rather than claiming a number we can't stand behind.

Statistical Depth: Where We Go Deeper

This is our lane. ProcedureRadar gives you verified-cohort severity distributions (p25, p75, p95, and p99) with bias-corrected and accelerated (BCa) confidence intervals, served directly through the API. We compute them from 15,000,000+ pricing records sourced from federally mandated hospital MRFs, with per-record source attribution back to the originating file. Turquoise public product materials do not document severity distributions or confidence intervals of this kind.

Provenance and Verification

Every ProcedureRadar record traces to a hospital Machine-Readable File published under 45 CFR Part 180, and we attribute each one back to the originating file. We also publish a public methodology white-paper and a downloadable verified data sample so you can audit the data across the top 100 US metros before you commit. Turquoise describes their data quality qualitatively for enterprise customers, without a public white-paper or downloadable sample.

Payer-Negotiated Rates: An Honest Gap

Turquoise ingests payer Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files, so they serve payer-negotiated contract rates today. ProcedureRadar currently serves hospital MRF data only across our 2,000+ priced hospitals; payer-negotiated TiC rates are on our roadmap, not shipped. If you need negotiated payer rates in production right now, that's a real reason to pick Turquoise, and we'd rather tell you upfront than have you find out later.

On Switching

Switching costs are low in either direction. Because ProcedureRadar is self-serve, you can provision a key, pull the same federally sourced hospital MRF data you'd evaluate anywhere else, and audit it against our public methodology before you commit. Nothing here is locked behind an enterprise contract or a multi-week implementation.

Why You Can Trust These Numbers

Every ProcedureRadar figure on this page comes from federally mandated hospital Machine-Readable Files published under 45 CFR Part 180, the Hospital Price Transparency Rule. We track pricing across the top 100 US metros and have published prices from 2,000+ hospitals, built from 15,000,000+ pricing records with per-record source attribution.

When I compare ProcedureRadar to another pricing platform, I try to be straight about what each product actually does. The big enterprise data companies are genuinely good. They're built for buyers who can move a six-figure procurement, which rules out most mid-market MGAs, TPAs, and specialty payers. We built ProcedureRadar for those teams. Underwriting-grade data, at a price they can approve in a 30-minute call.
