A PSA: Consumers, estimate your healthcare expenses -- FairHealth
https://www.fairhealthconsumer.org/Get essential information on costs for thousands of procedures and learn insurance basics.
FYI: I've worked with FairHealth while in a state healthcare agency and found their analyses and tools very helpful.
Mission
FAIR Health's mission is to supply objective, unbiased information for you and all other stakeholders to improve healthcare quality, access and affordability. We are an independent, national nonprofit organization known for providing fair and neutral information to all those we serve, including consumers like you.
We are able to provide reliable information about healthcare costs because each year health insurers around the country send us billions of healthcare claim records, which are added to FAIR Health's database of tens of billions of claim records. We use information from those claims to estimate what providers charge, and what insurers pay, for providing healthcare to patients all across the country. We make this information available to consumers, researchers, businesses and many others.
