A car. A television. A vacation.
You wouldn't purchase any of these without first knowing the cost. Why should it be any different with your health care?
In Michigan, the price of a colonoscopy can vary between $1,200 and $4,500 depending on where you go. That's because health care facilities may charge different prices for the same procedure.
That's why Priority Health created the Cost Estimator, an innovative tool that calculates a member's out-of-pocket costs for hundreds of procedures like X-rays, MRI, lab tests and surgeries. If a selected procedure is above fair market price, the tool will provide a list of nearby facilities where it's offered at a lower cost.
As members take on more out-of-pocket costs, there’s an increasing demand for price transparency. Priority Health was the first in the state to make this information available and will continue providing innovative tools to engage members in their care.
Transparency is just one of the ways we're a healthier approach to health care. Learn more about why you should choose us.
