Colorado Hospital Price Finder Tool: A Path to Price Transparency in Healthcare
Colorado Hospital Price Finder Launched
On Tuesday, Gov. Jared Polis and Lt. Gov. Primavera introduced the Colorado Hospital Price Finder, a new tool aimed at assisting Coloradans in saving money on their healthcare expenses. This initiative is powered by the nonprofit PatientRightsAdvocate.org, which focuses on promoting price transparency within the healthcare sector.
Complementing State Initiatives
According to Polis, this tool is a vital addition to the state-generated price transparency initiative that he and the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing unveiled earlier this year. The goal is to connect Colorado residents with vital healthcare services that offer clear pricing.
Benefits of the Tool
- Supports informed decision-making in healthcare choices.
- Enhances financial clarity for patients seeking medical services.
- Encourages competition among healthcare providers to lower costs.
