API Overview

Smarter choices, simplified

Healthcare decisions often lack transparency, especially when it comes to cost and quality. Without clear comparisons, members may default to higher-cost options or miss out on better alternatives.

The Cost Rewards API enables platforms to surface cost-effective, in-network care options for common procedures. It supports informed decision-making by combining real-time data with a reward system that encourages members to choose wisely—without adding friction to the experience.
