Source-labeled healthcare pricing data

Healthcare Pricing API for Medical Cost Data

Search hospitals and providers, retrieve source-labeled price rows, and compare procedure costs by code. Loa's medical cost API returns provenance and confidence context so teams can distinguish published MRF prices from reviewed provider submissions.

See API and MCP docs

Public read routes work without an API key. Metered clients can use an optional provider API key.

Source-labeled medical cost data

Search hospital and provider entities, retrieve comparable price rows, and keep published MRF prices distinct from reviewed provider submissions.

Traceable responses

Responses include request IDs, source labels, provenance, confidence, caveats, and structured errors.

Documented REST routes

Use the OpenAPI 3.1 specification to search entities, fetch prices, compare procedures, and submit reviewed corrections.

Healthcare cost data API endpoint examples

Medical price API routes for real product workflows

Medical cost API lookup

GET /api/v1/prices/compare

Compare source-labeled procedure prices by CPT code, market, provider, and payment context for patient-facing cost tools.

Pricing transparency API rows

GET /api/v1/entities/{slug}/prices

Retrieve hospital and provider price rows with Loa source labels, confidence, and provenance for price transparency workflows.

Healthcare cost data API search

GET /api/v1/entities/search

Find providers and hospitals, then connect profiles to source-labeled healthcare cost data and comparable price rows.

These routes expose the same source distinctions used on Loa's public price pages, so an integration can show where a price came from instead of presenting every row as equivalent. Machine-readable API discovery is published through APIs.json. For agent-native access, use Loa's healthcare pricing MCP provider.

Healthcare pricing API capabilities

Loa's REST API covers entity search, source-labeled prices, procedure comparisons, and reviewed corrections. The OpenAPI document describes each route, parameter, response, and named error.

Healthcare pricing API questions

Understand the data before you integrate it

Start with the public read routes, inspect their source and confidence fields, and use the OpenAPI document when you are ready to build against the response contract.

What does the Loa medical cost API return?

Loa returns hospital and provider entities, source-labeled price rows, procedure comparisons, request IDs, pagination, provenance, confidence, and caveats. Price results can be filtered by entity and procedure code.

How is a healthcare pricing API different from raw hospital MRF files?

A healthcare pricing API normalizes hospital MRF rows, Loa-reviewed provider submissions, source labels, reimbursement context, and price provenance so teams can compare healthcare cost data without rebuilding MRF parsing, matching, and quality checks.

Can I try the healthcare pricing API without a key?

Yes. Public read routes work without an API key. Metered clients can use an optional provider API key, and update requests remain pending until Loa reviews them.
