Hi Everyone,
What did you think about the pricing discussion?
I think most people will agree that this is a big issue in healthcare. A big issue for providers as well as you and me. It seems like prices for healthcare services just keep going up. We cannot get a break. The worse part is that they have a captured audience when we seek healthcare. And some providers may take advantage of that by raising prices on services we need, then of all things...make us pay for it.
Anytime another rule or initiative that is aimed at enhancing quality of care comes about, you can bet the cost is going to go up. So, how do we manage to get the needed healthcare and pay for it also. You know, this is a free society and what something is worth is deemed by how much someone will pay for it. But of course, a business cannot price itself out of the market. If there are three hospitals in a community, they will vary somewhat in their services, outreach and prices. Rest assured that before they raise any price, they have surveyed the market to see what is reasonable and comparable.
So, I have just decribed the global view pricing...so if all the prices are comparable (physician and facilities) what differentiates one from another. How do you decide who or where to get your care...OR do you even have a choice? Ya'll think about that for a little while...I will be back later to finish this discussion---It is going to get good! I will spill more secrets in order to assist you.
Until Next Time, Alice
