How Much Will This Service Cost Me?
Wednesday, September 03, 2008 5:13:43 PM (Central Standard Time, UTC-06:00) ( Consumer-driven health care | Finding the Best Value for Health Care Services | High deductible Health Insurance | Transparency )
Today, HSAeducator.com, an online community and educational website on HSAs, posted a blog entry about a consumer's personal experience using OutofPocket.com to look up prices for a strep throat culture. 

" I typed "strep throat" into the OutofPocket.com website and POOF, it gave me pricing for strep throat testing in my area. The tests ranged from $10.00 to $55.00. Unfortunately, the locations listed were really not that near my house, so I couldn't hit the $10.00 strep test store. But I will have an idea of whether the price of the test was good, bad or ugly. "

Thanks for sharing your story.   We invite everyone to use this search tool to look-up prices for routine health care services (MRIs, vaccinations, x-rays, lab tests, office visits, mammograms, dental, vision) and don't forget to post/share prices you paid for actual visits after you receive your statement or EOBs for the service.
