Company Overview

Taven is a healthcare cost transparency platform founded in 2026. We organize the pricing data hospitals are required to publish and make it useful for real people.

What We Do

Taven collects, validates, and organizes hospital pricing data mandated by the CMS Hospital Price Transparency Rule. We turn millions of raw pricing records into tools that help consumers compare care costs, review medical bills for errors, and make confident healthcare spending decisions.

Our Mission

Healthcare pricing has been opaque for decades — not because the data doesn't exist, but because it's buried in machine-readable files no consumer can use. We believe price transparency is a right, not a feature. Taven exists to make that right accessible to everyone, for free.

Key Findings

Data-driven headlines from our analysis of hospital pricing data across the United States.

68,000×

Hospital prices vary up to 68,000× for the same procedure

The same medical service at two different hospitals can differ by a factor of 68,000. Price variation isn't a rounding error — it's a systemic failure of market transparency.

3×

Average hospital marks up 3× over actual cost

On average, the chargemaster price at U.S. hospitals is three times the amount insurers actually pay. The gap between sticker price and negotiated rate has never been wider.

7.9×

Florida hospitals mark up 7.9× — worst in the nation

Florida leads the country in hospital markup ratios, with an average charge-to-cost ratio of 7.9×. Patients without insurance or out-of-network coverage face the steepest bills.

99.8%

Our pricing data passes quality validation

Every record in Taven's database goes through multi-step validation against CMS reference data, CPT code verification, and outlier detection. 99.8% of records meet our quality threshold.
