Turquoise Health, a multi-sided healthcare pricing and payment platform, has raised $40m in a Series C funding round to accelerate its mission of bringing transparency and efficiency to healthcare contracts and payments.
The round was led by Oak HC/FT, with participation from existing investors Andreessen Horowitz, Adams Street Partners, and Yosemite.
The new capital will be directed towards additional go-to-market efforts, accelerating the buildout of the product roadmap, and increasing headcount. The company has grown to nearly 200 employees since its founding five years ago and intends to expand its team further.
Turquoise’s platform addresses what it describes as a structural breakdown in healthcare’s financial infrastructure, which costs the industry nearly $1tn in administrative spend annually. The core issue lies in contracts that underpin every payment decision being stored across disparate systems, inconsistently interpreted, and largely invisible to the parties bound by them. By centralising data, contract information, and clinical coverage rules, the platform aims to transform the cost of care from a source of confusion into a clear, actionable source of truth.
The company’s platform includes Clear Rates, which synthesises machine-readable files, claims data, Medicare benchmarks, and other pricing signals into a single, auditable rate for every payer-provider combination. A second product, Contracts, uses AI to tag every rate and provision across a customer’s contract portfolio, turning static documents into a dynamic operating system. Across both sits AskTQ, an AI-powered pricing and contracting layer designed to reduce weeks of manual research to seconds.
Turquoise has demonstrated strong market traction, with 35% of monthly active users now using multiple products on the platform. It counts more than 280 customers, including 10 of the top 25 health systems, four of the five national payers, nine of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies, and six of the top 10 insurance brokers.
Turquoise Health CEO and co-founder Chris Severn said, “Our goal has always been to move the industry toward clear, accurate, and actionable healthcare pricing. By evolving from a data vendor to a full workflow and transaction platform, we are building the infrastructure for transparent, real-time payments. This round allows us to ensure that this model becomes the industry standard.”
Oak HC/FT partner Vig Chandramouli said, “Turquoise is uniquely positioned at the center of the healthcare economy, leveraging a data moat bolstered by their subject matter expertise, extensive library of over 65,000 contracts and best-in-class user interface.
“We have tracked Chris and the team since 2021 and are impressed by their ability to expand adoption simultaneously across providers, payers, employers, and life sciences. Their platform doesn’t just provide data; it embeds transparency directly into the negotiation and payment workflows of the industry’s largest stakeholders.”

![Temenos (SIX: TEMN) today announced that National Bank of Iraq (NBI), part of the Capital Bank Group, has successfully gone live with Temenos core banking and payments. NBI, which has 27 branches across Iraq, offers a comprehensive range of services to individuals and businesses in the country. Since 2005, NBI has been majority owned by Capital Bank, one of the top financial institutions operating in the Jordanian and regional markets, with assets of approximately JOD 7.6 billion[1]. With this implementation, NBI moved from its legacy systems onto the same core banking platform as other entities in the Capital Bank Group. This will enable NBI to operate more efficiently and integrate seamlessly with other systems to develop new products faster and deliver an improved customer experience. Capital Bank Group is a long-standing Temenos customer with other entities in the Group including Capital Bank of Jordan, Bank Audi, Société Générale Bank Jordan and NBI Saudi Arabia, already on the Temenos platform. NBI also becomes the first part of the group to adopt Temenos Payments, which enabled the bank to process more than 100,000 transactions of incoming and outgoing domestic and international payments in the first 15 days of operation, with a 99% straight-through processing rate. The migration to the Temenos platform for core banking and payments at NBI was completed in under 12 months thanks to Temenos’ pre-configured banking and payments capabilities and APIs which reduced the need for complex customizations, as well as close collaboration between Temenos, NBI, Capital Bank and delivery partner ITSS. This success was recently recognized in the IBS Intelligence Innovation Awards, with Capital Bank winning ‘Best Implementation of Core Banking Services'. The implementation at NBI follows several other successful transformation projects with Temenos for Capital Bank in the last few years, including the launch of NBI’s branch operations in Saudi Arabia in just 45 days, as well as the integration of Bank Audi and the former Jordanian operations of Société Générale, each of which was achieved in under four months. Collectively, these projects helped Capital Bank to increase operational efficiency by more than 50% within three years, bringing significant cost savings and an improved customer experience. With faster, more accurate processing and immediate service requests, the bank has maintained high customer retention rates and a reputation for service excellence. Izzidin Abusalameh, Chief Operations Officer, Capital Bank Group, commented: “This achievement marks a significant milestone in our digital transformation journey and positions us as a leading player in the banking industry. We have seamlessly transitioned the National Bank of Iraq to a cutting-edge core banking system which will not only enhance operational efficiency but also support providing our customers with a superior digital banking experience. Our continued partnership with Temenos has not only provided us with an advanced technological platform but has also facilitated a culture of flexibility and adaptability, enabling us to execute our ambitious growth plans.” Lee Allcorn, Managing Director, Middle East & Africa, Temenos, said: “Congratulations to National Bank of Iraq and the Capital Bank team on this successful implementation that gives NBI business agility and the same modern technology platform and ability to deploy fast with pre-configured banking capabilities as the rest of the group. With Temenos, Capital Bank Group is future-ready, and we are proud to support them as they continue to innovate and leverage our platform to grow sustainably and enhance the banking experience for customers.”](https://fintech.global/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/rupixen-Q59HmzK38eQ-unsplash-2-100x70.jpg "Flutterwave teams up with Acquired.com to streamline outward remittances in EU and UK")
