  • Publication number: 20200012762
    Abstract: A system or method for providing price transparency for healthcare or medical procedures or services and/or financing. Users are allowed to search by desired attributes (e.g., cost, procedure, location, etc.) to obtain pricing information for medical care. The system or method provides comparison of the costs of in-network and out-of-network medical services and cash-only payments. The user can choose medical care at a desired location, and schedule an appointment. Bundled packages of medical services and ancillary services can be offered to enable the user to compare bundled costs based on in-network and out of network medical services and cash-only payments. Any costs calculated by the system or method can account for copayments and deductibles and can enable a user to compare total out-of-pocket expenses with a cash-only payment option. Financing may be included. Advertisement revenue can be obtained on a click-through basis based on a healthcare provider profile.
