Price Transparency
Category: healthcare
The standard of clearly stating the cost of services, drugs, and labs upfront.
In DPC, there is no "bill for $500" arriving three months later. You know the cost of the test before it happens. This radical transparency builds the trust necessary to shift the system from "hidden-bill" insurance to "direct-pay" medical value.
Common Examples
- Our commitment to price transparency means that every lab test and procedure cost is provided to the member in writing before we proceed.
- True price transparency in DPC removes the "surprise bill" anxiety that plagues the traditional insurance-based healthcare model.
