Did you know hospital service costs have increased nearly 300% since 2000?
One of the biggest problems with our current healthcare system is the lack of transparency. People don't know the difference in costs between providers and facilities.
Healthcare pricing varies widely depending on where you go. An outpatient center can cost a fraction of what a hospital does. A cash price can be lower than an “insured” rate. But those differences aren’t always obvious.
Start Health is designed to help members navigate those decisions by comparing options, identifying fair prices, and choosing care settings that make sense.
Smarter consumers means lower costs for healthcare AND insurance.
