Data API

One API. Every Rate. Hospital and Payer Data Unified.

The SumHealth API gives developers and data teams direct access to our nationwide dataset — hospital MRF files and payer transparency files, normalized and ready to query.

  • REST + GraphQL
  • Sub-50ms latency
  • SOC 2 Type II aligned

2 Query protocols: REST & GraphQL

We turn complex payer and hospital data into clarity.

Our platform distills the nation's fragmented payer and hospital pricing files into actionable intelligence. By bridging the gap between raw files and real-world utility, we empower the architects of modern healthcare.

API capabilities

Built for developers. Designed for scale.

Everything you need to integrate hospital and payer rate data into your product — without building your own ingestion pipeline.

local_hospital

Hospital MRF Data

Access structured, normalized data from hospital price transparency files nationwide. CPT, DRG, and revenue code rates — clean and API-ready.

health_and_safety

Payer Transparency Files

Query in-network and out-of-network rates from thousands of payer MRF files — deduplicated, normalized, and cross-referenced against our hospital dataset.

api

REST + GraphQL

Two query paradigms, one data source. Use our REST API for simple lookups or GraphQL for complex, multi-dimensional queries across hospitals, payers, and codes.

bolt

Sub-50ms Latency

Our distributed query layer delivers p99 response times under 50ms — fast enough for real-time cost estimator tools and patient-facing applications.

stream

Streaming NDJSON

Bulk data consumers can stream full rate datasets using our NDJSON endpoints — eliminating pagination overhead for analytics pipelines and data warehouses.

verified_user

Enterprise-Grade Security

OAuth 2.0 authentication, IP allowlisting, end-to-end TLS, and a 99.99% uptime SLA. SOC 2 Type II aligned and built for HIPAA-sensitive environments.

Use cases

One API powering every healthcare data workflow

From patient-facing cost tools to enterprise analytics stacks, the SumHealth API adapts to how your team works.

Cost Estimator Tools

Power Real-Time Patient Cost Estimates

Integrate the SumHealth API into patient-facing portals and pre-service workflows to deliver accurate, payer-specific cost estimates at the point of care.

  • Return rates for any CPT code in <50ms

  • Support Good Faith Estimate (GFE) compliance
  • Serve both hospital and payer rates from one endpoint
EHR & Billing Systems

Enrich Clinical Workflows with Pricing Context

Embed rate and reimbursement data directly inside EHR platforms, billing systems, and revenue cycle tools — without rebuilding your data pipeline.

  • REST and FHIR-aligned data structures
  • Patient-level benefit and plan lookups
  • Prior authorization and reimbursement modeling
  • Integrate via webhooks for real-time updates
Analytics & Contracting

Fuel Payer Contract Analytics at Scale

Stream the full rate dataset into your data warehouse or analytics platform. Power payer performance dashboards, contract modeling, and market analysis.

  • Bulk NDJSON streaming for warehouse ingestion
  • Cross-reference hospital and payer rates together
  • Filter by geography, specialty, and plan type
  • Monthly updates via automated pipeline
