What you can build on it

The same infrastructure that books patients on expectedhealthcare.com every day, opened up to partners.

Find the right clinic

Search imaging centers, labs, and urgent care by location and procedure. Hours, accreditation, accepted insurance, and walk-in availability come back in one response.

GET /clinics/search

Show real cash prices

Self-pay prices for MRI, CT, ultrasound, X-ray, DEXA, and more, wherever clinics publish them, so patients know the cost before they go.

Send orders and referrals

Post the order with the patient and provider details. We deliver it in whatever format the clinic accepts, fax included, and get the patient scheduled.

POST /referrals

Common questions

Can I start building today?

Not self-serve yet. The API is in early access: we onboard partners one at a time, starting with a short scoping call, then credentials and documentation. Request access above and tell us what you're building.

Is the API HIPAA compliant? Will you sign a BAA?

Yes. Expected Health works as a HIPAA business associate, and we sign a Business Associate Agreement with every partner before any patient information moves through the API.

What does a clinic need to do to receive orders?

Nothing. We deliver each order the way the clinic already works, whether that's fax, email, or a portal, and follow up with the clinic until the patient is scheduled.

Which procedures and clinic types are covered?

Imaging is the core: MRI, CT, ultrasound, X-ray, mammography, DEXA, PET, and more, across 6,200+ imaging centers. The network also includes labs, urgent care, and hospitals: 8,000+ clinic profiles across 48 states and DC.

How is the API priced?

Pricing depends on your use case and volume, and we set it together during onboarding. Let us know your expected volume in the form.
