In January of this year, I needed a chest xray. I had the imaging done in January, claim submitted 2 weeks later, and I finally received this bill at the end of March. A whole 2 months later! This whole time, I had no idea what I would actually end up owing for the xray. The lack of transparency in pricing, not knowing how much I will owe and the delay in billing made the stressful situation of needing healthcare even more stressful.
With Direct Primary Care, contracts with labs and imaging centers allows us to offer labs and imaging studies at cost, which translates to steep discounts for patients. This comes with the added perk of price transparency, with prices listed up front. When studies are ordered, you know exactly how much everything will cost. No claims, no bills, no delays. Healthcare made transparent, as it should be.
