It is no secret to anyone that the pricing of surgical services is at the top of the list of problems in our dysfunctional healthcare system. Bureaucracy at the insurance and hospital levels, cost shifting and the absence of free market principles are among the culprits for what has caused surgical care in the United States to be cost prohibitive. As more and more patients find themselves paying more and more out of pocket, it is clear that something must change. We believe that a very different approach is necessary, one involving transparent and direct pricing.

Transparent, direct, package pricing means the patient knows exactly what the cost of the service will be upfront.

He tells it like it is. And they don't take "Medicare."

No kidding. I have had various tests and procedures recommended, and when I ask, "How much is that going to cost." All I get is blank stares, and, "try calling this number" where I get the same blank "I dunno." I guess, just like the health care bill they passed,  you just can't find out what is in it until you get the bill.

If you have to pass it to find out what's in it...

You have just defined a Stool Sample.
