We’ll let you in on the best-kept cost savings secret in healthcare: That price you pay your doctor isn’t always the only (or the best) price out there.

Au contraire, healthcare prices can differ significantly by the provider or the area. In fact, it’s not uncommon to find two doctors within the same area who charge completely different prices for the exact same service.

With healthcare price comparison tools, employees can find the best prices for their health needs and insurance coverage. Here’s how it works: enter some basic information into the tool, like zip code, insurance coverage, and the type of care needed. Then the tool will generate a list of providers that match these needs, as well as what they’ll charge for the service.
