TruCost Health ingests massive federally mandated pricing datasets and embeds real-time, actionable answers directly into clinical and administrative workflows. We show the true cost of care before care begins.
The Transparency in Coverage rule and the Hospital Price Transparency rule created an enormous amount of publicly available pricing data. However, these Machine-Readable Files are published in formats that are practically unusable for the healthcare workers who need them most.
Files exceeding half a terabyte of compressed JSON are too large for standard analytics tools, too complex for clinical workflows, and too fragmented for meaningful comparison.
Patients arrive at clinics with unclear benefits. By the time billing verifies coverage, discharge decisions have already been made, often at the patient's financial expense.
"The gap is not transparency. It is actionable, context-aware navigation."
