Health Gorilla

Health Gorilla operates a national health-data interoperability network and a FHIR-first API suite for healthcare developers. Its HL7 FHIR R4 REST API provides access to patient records, person-authorized record retrieval across national exchange networks (QHIN / TEFCA), diagnostic (lab and radiology) ordering and results, clinical documents, and coverage/eligibility data under OAuth 2.0.

agent ready

Reference-quality API operations across every facet — a rich contract, published governance, transparent operations, and machine-readable commercial terms.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Health Gorilla the way a machine reads it — 37 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Health Gorilla scores 68.2/100 (exemplar), with a separate agent-readiness read of 39/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Health Gorilla

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Health Gorilla. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 10

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Health Gorilla Binary API

Raw clinical document content.

Health Gorilla CapabilityStatement API

FHIR server capability discovery.

Health Gorilla Coverage API

Patient insurance coverage / eligibility.

Health Gorilla DiagnosticReport API

Structured lab and radiology results.

Health Gorilla DocumentReference API

Clinical document metadata.

Health Gorilla Observation API

Individual result observations.

Health Gorilla Patient API

Patient demographics and patient-scoped record retrieval.

Health Gorilla Practitioner API

Ordering and rendering providers.

Health Gorilla RequestGroup API

Parent diagnostic orders nesting individual ServiceRequest tests.

Health Gorilla ServiceRequest API

Diagnostic (lab and radiology) order requests.

Open Collections 12

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Arazzo Workflows 4

Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.

Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.

Health Gorilla Coverage Retrieval

Locate a patient, search their insurance Coverage resources, then read a single Coverage for full plan detail.

ARAZZO

Health Gorilla FHIR Lab Order

Confirm server capabilities, locate a patient, then place a laboratory order as a ServiceRequest grouped inside a RequestGroup.

ARAZZO

Health Gorilla Patient Everything

Locate a patient, read the Patient resource, then pull the complete US Core record with the Patient $everything operation.

ARAZZO

Health Gorilla Lab Results Retrieval

Locate a patient, then pull their US Core laboratory DiagnosticReports, read one report, and retrieve the discrete result Observations.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Health Gorilla MCP Server

Health Gorilla serves a live remote MCP endpoint from its own developer-portal host. An agent can reach it today at https://developer.healthgorilla.com/mcp — no install step, no...

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

Security Posture 4

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Scopes 1

OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Health Gorilla, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
