Summary: It’s great to hear from people who have used our information. Here’s one: “When my local hospital charged me $1,000 for a routine ulstrasound, Clearhealthcosts helped me find out how much I was being overcharged. The database is by far the simplest and clearest way to compare real healthcare prices in New York state — it’s the only resource that gives you a simple dollar figure, rather than a dizzying array of codes and modifiers. When I wanted to dig deeper, the site’s explanation of how to navigate the Medicare price database was also invaluable. Armed with this data, I was able to convince my hospital to give me a discount, because I could prove that they charged me 40 percent more than Medicare patients for no discernible reason.” –J.R., New York.
