Providers and Insurance know Healthcare Prices But Patients Don't

Jeanne Pinder ,former NY Times reporter was frustrated that Patients were in dark about Prices for Medical Procedures. So she decided to create the True Prices charged by asking Patients to share their Bills.

Now you can imagine that her task was full of hurdles--like money to hire people,inform the local public and patients to share their bills.

She started with San Francisco in 2012 and moved to New Orleans in 2017.During these 5 years,she was able to get the data for dozen cities-like Los Angeles,Dulles,New York city besides San Francisco and New Orleans.

For Florida,she is getting help from the State.

I asked her about Chicago,Il. and her answer was that she will get there someday.

So what do Patients do in the meantime ?

Guroo.com has provided the Costs for Facilities for Preventive Screening Colonoscopy:

Physician fees: 298 to 477 $

Facility Services: 1489 to 3625 $

You can see that in Geneva,Il. where there are 3 facilities who do Colonoscopy, our price at American Colonoscopy and Endoscopy Center is the Lowest.

You will Save 250$ in Gastroenterologist Fee and Save 2136 $ in Facility Fees.

As far as quality--our Gastroenterologist is an Independent Specialist trained at The Cleveland Clinic rated # 2 in America and has done thousands of Colonoscopies and Endoscopies in Top Hospitals.

Now U as Patients should know: If U go to lower priced facilities, then your Insurance Premiums won't go up much in future.

Insurance co. watch Patients habits and determine Premiums accordingly.

That is one reason that Insurance Co. are offering High Deductible Policies that have Far Lower Premiums.
