Remember my friend Expat. Part of his story was how annoyed and surly one doctor's office got when he asked how much a physical would cost, even though he had coverage.
Well in one city, via one health insurance carrier, facilities and providers are going to be required to say how much the service costs. Via Hospital Impact.org.
This likely has some doctors up in arms.
Do you think people will shop around for value, even if it's just helping out their carriers? I think they will.
Do you think that the carriers might also become more open about provider track records? I think they should.
