The healthcare system makes it difficult to find information on quality and cost of care, which puts consumers and corporations at a fundamental disadvantage. Not only is secrecy in healthcare unfair – it results in both higher costs and dangerous gaps in quality of care.
The problem we're solving
How Healthcare
Bluebook began
For our CEO, Jeff Rice, MD, bridging the information gap and bringing transparency to healthcare is personal. When Jeff’s son was 12 years old, he needed foot surgery. As Jeff was setting up the surgery, he discovered that the facility costs were going to be more than $15,000.
While discussing the surgery with his son’s doctor, Jeff learned that the surgeon also operated at another facility that had an excellent quality rating and price tag of only $1,500.
Same surgery, same surgeon, vastly different price - a realization that started a revolution.
Bringing fairness
back to healthcare
Inspired by this experience, Jeff embarked on a mission to help others by leveling the playing field with cost and quality transparency that would allow them to make informed healthcare decisions.
Since 2007, Healthcare Bluebook has helped millions of people by making it easy for them to find high-quality care at a Fair Price™.
