SAVINGS RESOURCES FOR OFFICE EXAMS, DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, AND SURGERIES.
The art is not in making money but in keeping it.
Did You Know?
Misdiagnosis, up-coding, duplicate billing and the lack of pricing transparency have created a runaway train of costs, hassle and patient dissatisfaction. Hospitals and many outpatient testing centers bill as much as 10 times compared to an independent or cash-pay lab/ testing center. Inflated prices for diagnostic testing—whether medical labs or car scans—happen because of facility markups, lack of price transparency, and hidden fees.
Which is why we are happy to share several alternative resources to lower your out of pocket risk and save a tremendous amount of money for standard tests and procedures.
Tips
Compare multiple locations and platforms for the same service
Look for bundled pricing that includes facility + professional fees
For imaging, ask whether the price includes radiolist reading
For labs, choose sites that route orders through LabCorp, Quest Diagnostic or CPL for reliability
