From the Cleveland Daily Banner…

Medical expenses are often the breaking point for many families.

MDsave and Tennova Healthcare-Cleveland are working together to help local residents save money and get more of the medical care they need.

Through the MDsave marketplace, patients at Tennova will have access to a wide variety of medical procedures at up-front prices, as well as simplified billing and educational resources.

In some cases, especially for patients on high-deductible health plans or without insurance, out-of-pocket expenses can prevent individuals and families from getting medical care they need, especially preventive procedures that could help stave off future health issues. MDsave and Tennova are working to create better options for these patients.

MDsave empowers patients to take more control over their health care decisions by offering transparent pricing and educational resources on diseases and treatments. MDsave’s website allows patients to geographically search by procedure, provider, specialty, or ailment, and compare pricing.

The process is up-front and easy. Just choose the best option, add to your cart, and check out online — the price posted is what you pay. The price includes all costs associated with the procedure including physician billing. Patients will not receive another bill.
