Why We Are So Transparent with Our Pricing
When was the last time you visited a doctor and were told up front what you were being charged? Unfortunately, this doesn’t happen very often. Most doctors expect health insurance to foot the bill, and they don’t see any reason to let their patients know how much they are inflating prices for tests and procedures.
But some patients don’t have insurance, or they have insurance but have a hard time getting certain tests or procedures approved. When that happens, patients often end up paying out of pocket. Patients with a large deductible may also be paying out of pocket for the first several visits each year.
For these reasons, many people end up paying cash for healthcare services. Most hospitals and medical practices don’t give out their prices before you are billed. Part of this is that they don’t want you to go without the procedure or test. But part of it is also that they want to make as much money as they can, and if you don’t have insurance covering it, you pay the price.
But this isn’t fair to patients. Patients should have the ability to choose the right doctor for them, and that includes choosing a doctor who they can afford. And that is the crux of why we are so transparent with our pricing.
Our website lists prices for the most common services and tests that we offer. This allows you to know exactly what your medical care is going to cost you, which gives you the ability to know ahead of time if you can afford it.
