Shopping for Quality : Medicare Offers New Analsyis Tool for Consumers

Medicare beneficiaries can now comparison shop for health services and plans through Medicare's Quality Care Finder.

Medicare has rolled out a new tool to help people to shop for and analyze their options when seeking health care services.

A valuable feature of this new evaluation tool is the ability to make an "apples to apples" comparison between providers of services and various coverage plans.

The "Quality Care Finder" is an online tool designed to help beneficiaries and their caregivers find healthcare providers, facilities, health and drug plans, and equipment suppliers. Medicare beneficiaries can also locate comparisons on services to compare the quality and services offered by service providers or plans.
