CashDoctor.com’s new FREE LISTING service will allow every healthcare professional in America the opportunity to get online, stand out, be seen and encourage the transition from the current system where insurance companies keep the pricing information private to a system where information is public and access is free for all to see and utilize regardless if they are insured or not.
“The healthcare industry has an opportunity to connect with Americans by eliminating the surprise in pricing and promoting fair prices to help the uninsured and those now covered by high deductible major medical health plans. Transparent pricing is going to change the way healthcare is delivered and we have eliminated all financial barriers” said Robert Stehlin – Founder of CashDoctor.com.
According to Stehlin, Doctors, Chiropractors, Dentist, Acupuncturist, Hospitals, Urgent Care Centers can now connect with consumers who are choosing to direct their own healthcare and are looking on the internet for local services and fees. The new self-directed American is concerned with actual cost and value and is demanding this information before a visit or appointment is scheduled.”
Consumer directed healthcare is changing the face of America on a daily basis. In the past year over one million health savings accounts were opened. As per a recent Harris Interactive Poll, 72% of American Adults went on line in 2005 searching for information relating to healthcare.
