Mystery healthcare prices leave patients in the dark. But thanks to hospital and insurer price transparency rules, those costs are being made public. The catch? The files that contain those prices aren’t easy for consumers to read.
Health tech companies have stepped up to decipher these files and make it easier for patients to shop for care. Mark Galvin, President and CEO of TALON, shares how equipping patients with upfront prices can help them find healthcare at a price they can afford.
Plus, Terry and Dr. Bob discuss the latest on accelerated approval, prior authorization, and more.
