CostAware
Independent directory. No paid placements.
We are not paid by any organization listed here. There are no sponsored placements and no affiliate links. This directory is a free tool to help you compare your options. Listings are ordered by type (federal, state, then insurer) and alphabetically within each type. Payment does not affect ordering, because no payment is accepted.

How to use it with this site
Get the number this resource gives you, then write it into the procedure quote worksheet next to the other facilities you asked. Compare each entered amount with the Medicare anchor on the matching procedure page for order of magnitude, and read how to ask for the cash price before you call. The anchor is not your bill, and a resource average is not your quote. Confirm your all-in price in writing before service.
