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.
