Price-Shop a Medical Procedure

Before undergoing an elective medical procedure, such as LASIK eye surgery or dental veneers, find out how much this costs. Knowing the range can help you choose between comparable care providers.

Healthcarebluebook.com lists what it considers to be a fair price, based on how much providers receive from insurers. For example, if you’re in need of knee arthro scopy in Denver, Healthcare Blue Book says a fair price for the procedure at a hospital would be $6,980 (that includes the physican’s fee and anesthesia).

Newchoicehealth.com, a similar site, shows what health care providers actually charge consumers, on average, based on its surveys. Its figure for knee arthroscopy at a Denver hospital: $11,500.
