Pricecare.com Launches New Website, Makes It Easier to Search Quality, Affordable Healthcare

Feb. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- New York, New York – February 3, 2012 - Pricecare.com, the first and only online marketplace for healthcare procedures, launched its new website today.

“The new Pricecare.com website replaces the pilot website that Pricecare.com launched in early 2011,” announced Andrew L. Simon, CEO of Pricecare.com. “The new site represents significant improvements based upon our experiences with providers and users who participated in our pilot over the past six months.”

Pricecare.com allows consumers to search for non-emergency medical procedures and compare services by bundled price, healthcare facility information, provider experience and zip code. Simon believes that the new site will make it easier for people who need care to comparison shop. Pricecare.com creates new opportunities for consumers and providers by offering transparency and accurate information and encouraging competition.

As more people have larger deductibles, there is growing demand for a marketplace for healthcare services. Pricecare.com enables anyone to see what a hospital and a physician are offering, with a single bundled price. This is the first opportunity for people to comparison shop for services in their local community as well as nationally.

There is no charge to consumers for using Pricecare.com. According to Simon, “We believe that the benefits to consumers using Pricecare.com will allow them for the first time to make informed decisions regarding provider selection and costs.”
