Do You Know the Real Cost of an Outpatient Surgery or Office Visit?

HEALTHCOST.COM GIVES YOU THE EXACT COST OF PROCEDURES IN YOUR AREA

Healthcare costs are out of control. The average American spends up to 25 percent of their income on healthcare expenses¹, yet has no idea what a colonoscopy, knee arthroscopy or cataract surgery even costs until they get the bill. The worst part? Most Americans don’t even realize that the cost for the same medical procedure, performed by the same doctor can vary by as much as 400 percent depending on where the procedure is performed.
