Increasing life spans and improved well-being demonstrate the commendable advances in health care. These influences on our health and mortality are created and administered by an industry unlike any other. The high priority given to good health results in a purchasing process which focuses on an expedient remedy, producing the best outcome. On the other hand, purchasing methods for other items, such as a stereo or automobile, place more emphasis on price, financing and quality comparisons. 

 Open access to information normally helps create a competitive market place. It is difficult to become a knowledgeable buyer of medical care without comparative pricing information. This knowledge promotes vigorous negotiations between the medical profession and insurance companies, allowing insurance companies to control their aspect of a policy holder's medical costs, resulting in more competitive insurance premiums. 

 Patients without the necessary insurance in place, may be faced with paying a bill priced at the "List" or "Usual and Customary" rate. For a variety of reasons, this rate reflects full billed charges, significantly higher than the insurer pays. By reviewing MyHealthScore.com benchmark fees, and arranging for a direct payment to the provider at the time of service, the patient may be able to pay a more competitive rate. 

 All providers and insurance companies listed with MyHealthScore.com show generic "white page" information regarding their profession, whereas participating providers may add considerably more "yellow page" information concerning themselves, including charge information relative to the listed benchmark pricing. 

 After viewing several provider profiles, you can get an idea of the comparative nature of the providers. However, keep in mind that variables such as training, experience, research, facility costs, educational debt, staffing levels, staffing expertise, specialization, equipment, location, and probably several other factors affect the price and quality of the health care service. 

 In addition to fee considerations, trended survey information is included with each provider and insurance profile. It is hoped that the experience of patients previously treated will help those who follow. These opinion surveys intend to bring to light several aspects of the quality of care available to the public. If you have been treated recently, please fill out an on-line survey form for the appropriate provider and insurance company.
