and insightful, and good-looking, and well mannered… [ok, enough kissing up]
Really appreciated Hank of InsureBlog posting an unsolicited mention about FindYourDoc. People doen’t realize that it has free info (ahem… let me say that again… no charge, zip, nada, doesn’t cost a dime) such as where your physician graduated from, where they did their residency, what specialities they are board certified in…
But what REALLY gets interesting is the hospital data… inpatient and outpatient charges, negotiated rates, and costs… what zip codes patients are coming from to use that hospital. Yeah, we could make up something to make it seem super secret or psuedo-insider only info (think of it that way if it makes you feel better) but really – and be honest – wouldn’t you want, wouldn’t expect to know that information about your doctor or hospital BEFORE you got your bill.
Transparency is coming and it ain’t perfect but it’s coming nonetheless. Hang on.
Heck, if you use FindYourDoc to look up a physician or hospital, send us an email of why or how you used the information and we’ll post the top 5 stories… also, in the next 60 days FYD will get a new look and more quality data.
