Patients receiving care from a primary care physician are often referred for surgical care. Oftentimes the physician may refer to one or two practices for that care. Patients are not given many choices and there is usually no discussion regarding price of that care, the qualifications of the specialist or past results they might have had.
Started in 2007, SurgiPrice seeks to empower patients with information on price, surgeons qualifications, past results and outcomes. Patients can then make more informed choices.
