Trilliant Health Delivers on the Promise of Hospital Price Transparency Regulation: Easily Accessible Data

Trilliant Health makes the machine-readable files (MRFs) posted by hospitals available for free in a single, accessible location.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trilliant Health, the healthcare industry's leading analytics firm, today announced the release of a centralized dataset containing machine-readable hospital price transparency files with more than 5 billion negotiated rates from more than 5,000 hospitals nationwide.

Because the Hospital Price Transparency rule requires each hospital to publish pricing data, the files are scattered across thousands of individual hospital websites, requiring technical expertise to locate, download and normalize the data. Trilliant Health has eliminated these barriers by consolidating this publicly available information into one accessible location. The same dataset powers Oria, the company's free AI chatbot for exploring hospital prices.

"A cottage industry has emerged charging substantial fees for access to data that's supposed to be public, a prime example of the oft-cited waste in the U.S. healthcare system," said Hal Andrews, President and Chief Executive Officer of Trilliant Health. "The first step in reducing healthcare waste is to stop spending money on things that are free.”

“With Oria, we made it easy for every American to get plain language answers about hospital pricing,” Andrews continued. “We have now enabled every health economy stakeholder – even our competitors – to reduce waste and by making the underlying data available at no cost and in one centralized location. With this data, every health economy stakeholder can quantify and deliver – or demand – the value for money that is so elusive in the U.S. healthcare system."
