Introducing Oria: Trilliant Health’s New AI Chatbot Makes Hospital Price Transparency Data Freely Accessible

Oria, a specialized AI chatbot, transforms complex machine-readable files (MRFs) into instant answers, removing barriers to understanding hospital prices.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trilliant Health, the healthcare industry’s leading analytics firm, today announced the launch of Oria, the latest addition to its free analytics solutions. Oria enables price discovery for hospital services with an AI-powered interface that allows anyone to ask questions and quickly discover insights from hospital price transparency files.

“For decades, healthcare prices were a closely guarded secret, protected by Federal antitrust law and contractual agreements,” said Hal Andrews, Chief Executive Officer of Trilliant Health. “Although this data is now public and theoretically available to anyone, it is frequently difficult to access or use. Oria removes those barriers, making this free data easy for anyone to use.”

Named for Orion, the guiding constellation travelers have trusted for centuries, Oria symbolizes clarity and direction. Oria combines hospital price transparency data with large language models (LLMs), enabling natural language interactions with complex pricing information. Questions that once required extensive engineering and data analysis can now be asked in plain language:

• What is Cigna's rate for colonoscopies across hospitals in my market?
• Which hospital does Anthem pay the highest rate for joint replacements?
• What is the distribution of rates for sepsis across payers?

“Much of the oft-discussed waste in the American healthcare system is administrative in nature, as highlighted in our recent 2025 Trends Shaping the Health Economy Report. Part of that is the cottage industry of companies charging for information that is publicly available and therefore free,” continued Andrews. “By their nature, hospital price transparency files do not require additional context for interpretation, unlike health plan price transparency files. Oria makes hospital transparency files easy to use for every stakeholder – patients, providers, life sciences, insurers and policymakers. Historically, the introduction of price transparency into a market has sparked fierce competition based on value for money. Logically, delivering value for money in healthcare, which exists at the intersection of price and quality, will be the only successful long-term strategy.”
