Health Gorilla

What Health Gorilla does

Health Gorilla is a Federally Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) founded in 2014 and headquartered in Palo Alto, California. It operates a health information exchange platform built on interoperability standards including FHIR, HL7, C-CDA, and IHE Profiles, enabling bidirectional exchange of clinical data across healthcare organizations. In December 2023, the company achieved federal QHIN designation from The Sequoia Project and HHS, making it the nation's first dual-designated QHIN (TEFCA) and QHIO (California Data Exchange Framework). The platform's core products are organized around a Health Information Platform (HIP) infrastructure and specialized data products: EHR Data, Lab Data (with electronic ordering across 120+ lab vendors), ADT Alerts, SDOH Data, and Pharmacy Data. AI-assisted normalization consolidates these inputs into longitudinal patient records, supporting use cases across treatment, individual access services, payment, healthcare operations, public health, and benefits determination.

The company serves eight distinct verticals: payers and payviders (Humana, Oscar Health), providers and health systems, EHR vendors (Meditech), digital health companies (Virta, Canvas, Sesame, DNAvisit), regional HIEs, value-based care organizations, lab vendors, and life insurance companies. Revenue is generated through quote-based annual subscriptions for QHIN/QHIO participation and API access, with tiered pricing based on organizational size and data exchange volume. GTM combines enterprise field sales with an API-first developer motion. To date, Health Gorilla has raised approximately $80 million across multiple rounds, including a $50 million Series C led by SignalFire in March 2022. The company has achieved Black Book Research #1 vendor ranking across five interoperability categories and Inc. Power Partner recognition in 2024, while facing a federal lawsuit filed by Epic Systems and four health systems in January 2026 alleging improper access to approximately 300,000 patient records, which Health Gorilla is contesting.

Emerging players

• Avaneer Health: Avaneer Health is a payer/provider-led interoperability network leveraging TEFCA for claims and clinical data exchange. It competes for payer-provider exchange workloads similar to Health Gorilla's primary segment.
• 1upHealth: 1upHealth operates a FHIR-based data platform for payers, providers, and app developers to aggregate and share clinical data. It overlaps Health Gorilla's FHIR API and Patient Access use cases, though it is not a designated QHIN.
• Particle Health: Particle Health is an API-first interoperability platform providing nationwide clinical record retrieval via TEFCA frameworks. It overlaps Health Gorilla's payer and digital health customer segments but is a younger, narrower platform.
• Redox: Redox is a healthcare API integration platform connecting digital health apps to EHRs. While not a QHIN, it competes for developer mindshare and digital health integrations that Health Gorilla also targets.
• Zus Health: Zus Health provides a shared clinical data platform for digital health builders, aggregating patient records via TEFCA and other networks. It is a partial peer competing for digital health and Patient Access workloads.

Direct peers

• CommonWell Health Alliance: CommonWell is a designated QHIN under TEFCA operated as a vendor alliance. It competes directly with Health Gorilla for EHR-enabled TEFCA exchange and shares the same QHIN-to-QHIN interconnection obligations.
• eHealth Exchange: eHealth Exchange is one of the largest nationwide health information networks and a designated QHIN under TEFCA. It directly competes with Health Gorilla for federal interoperability participants and exchanges data with Health Gorilla as part of QHIN-to-QHIN requirements.
• Epic Systems (Carequality / Care Everywhere): Epic operates its own designated QHIN under TEFCA and runs Carequality, the dominant interoperability framework. Epic is both a QHIN peer to Health Gorilla and an active litigant in the 2026 lawsuit, making it the most consequential direct competitor.
• MedAllies: MedAllies is a designated QHIN under TEFCA focused on provider-to-provider exchange. It is a direct QHIN competitor to Health Gorilla, particularly for hospital and ambulatory interoperability use cases.
• KONZA Health: KONZA is a designated QHIN under TEFCA with regional HIE roots. It is a direct QHIN peer to Health Gorilla, providing competing national connectivity to payers, providers, and HIEs.
