In today’s complicated healthcare system, cost and accessibility rank highest amongst customers pain points.  Already shelling out large sums of money for health insurance, consumers are now hesitant to see doctors as it equates to additional out-of-pocket expenses.

Occasionally, not visiting a doctor is considered the better choice versus having to make additional payments.

“Is it really necessary to see a doctor?” oftens boils down to “How much will I have to pay?”

Tracking payments and deductibles are challenging in the current health care system structure. The timing of payments makes for further complications.

You can always track payments online or by calling your insurance company but who has the time (or patience) for that in today’s world.  The average consumer does not have easy access to this information nor have the time to research.  

On top of that, how to access the doctor adds layers of uncertainty:

• How soon can I come in?
• Do I need a MRI beforehand?
• Should I go to the emergency room?
• Should I go to urgent care?
• And how much will I have to pay for those extra doctor visits?

These add to the increasing nightmare around doctor payments and usage.
