Reed Abelson ,NY Times article, " The Last Company you would expect is Reinventing Health Benefits" is a great article as it shows that Reinventing is going on by Walmart and Comcast.

Amazon,Berkshire Hathaway,JP Morgan-Chase have embarked on Reinvention by hiring Jack Roddard of Comcast recently.

Margot Sanger-Katz wrote on Feb.6,2015 ,"When hospitals buy Doctors offices and Patients Fees Soar".

She showed Medicare patients who were paying 20% of 189$ for Cardiac Sonogram -co pay of 38$ (20%) will Now be Paying 90$ (20% of 453$) -new Price being charged by Hospital owned Doctors.

www.guroo.com shows that Gastroenterologist fee goes up from 225$ to 495$ and Facilities Fee goes up from 1500$ to 3700$ for Colonoscopy-Preventive Screening.

COMCAST is using ACCOLADE to help their 225,000 employees Reduce their Healthcare Costs by getting MRI from facilities that charge 50% Less.

Accolade is searching for Facilities like American Colonoscopy and Endoscopy Center located next to Geneva Commons which charge 2000 to 3000$ Less .

Comcast lowered employees Co-Pays to 250$ per year,encouraging it Employees to seek Preventive Screening for Mammogram or Colonoscopy or other Heart or Cancers.

Walmart realized that their Employees were getting their Back Surgeries by local organizations raising Walmart costs sharply. They found facilities with Lower prices with Better Outcomes.

Even with paying Travel Costs,Walmart is Saving a lot for their Healthcare for over 1 million employees.

NOW -How about U? With lack of Price Transparency--and No Help from Accolade---where do U go to find Lower Priced Facilities?

American Cancer Society has lowered Colon Cancer Screening guidelines Age to 45, but Insurance company wont pay 3500-4700$. So U will have to search for Lower Cost facilities yourself because GUROO wont tell You the names of Providers who charge Less. Your Insurance co wont help you either.
