@mariots How do you find the posted data for other plans

In the category of "everybody knows this but every time you look at it it's still insane": price per colonoscopy in various Oscar markets. Always stunning how much higher outpatient prices are vs ambulatory surgery centers. But what's even more interesting is how ambulatory surgery centers actually seem to exhibit some characteristics of an open market: way lower price variation, for one. (This kind of data used to be guarded jealously by insurers, now you can just piece it together yourself from the cost transparency files we all have to generate. Great progress and we've only begun to see the impact of that newfound transparency) Finally, the limits of price transparency for driving consumer behavior are also obvious here: in the ACA, most plans' deductibles are now lower than the lowest-cost colonoscopy, so you don't have much immediate financial incentive to shop these prices

@TheSteveHan @keccers @RocketMoneyApp For someone who self-promotes a better human world, this is a bleak outlook.

@keccers @RocketMoneyApp @TurquoiseHC Not saying they are intentionally doing it or doing it with malice, but can imagine the lowest resistant path to maximum profit following market demand is essentially creating a collusion tool for all provider to raise prices slowly but in coordination.

@davidscottworks @TomScherschel @doctorow @jonspaihts Confirming that @davidscottworks has no connection with us, but he seems to know his stuff.

@TomScherschel @doctorow @jonspaihts I know Turquoise Health is trying to help with the transparency part. You can use their site to see costs (disclosure, I have no connection to Turquoise or any insurance or health provider)

#Moderna is quadrupling the cost of #covid #vaccines, from $26/dose to $110-130. CEO Stephane Bancel calls the price hike "consistent with the value" of the #MRNA vaccines. Moderna's costs are $2.85/dose, for a 4,460% markup on every dose: arstechnica.com/science/2023/0… 1/

@chrissyfarr We have a platform. Turquoise, ubiquitous—basically the same word.

What are the most obvious ideas in health care that haven't been started yet b/c of structural issues? I'll shoot: -- A ubiquitous platform to check prices -- A provider quality scorecard -- A system to double check medical recs -- A platform to dispute medical bills

Did you know that hospitals are required to share their rates with the public? Here’s how many hospitals delivered, according to @TurquoiseHC. #healthcare #money By @deanna_cuadra trib.al/uSGqWaX

It took me a minute, but here's what @a16z-backed @TurquoiseHC is all about: - #Healthcare Price transparency - Compliance tools - And to paraphrase CEO @crsevern: ‘platforming out’ to get all of us to “upfront, ubiquitous pricing in healthcare.” 📺👉youtu.be/Xwr1ohsN3pk

🚨New product alert🚨 You can now directly request+receive hospital and payer data extracts right in the Turquoise platform *applaud* blog.turquoise.health/turquoise-heal…

It's the biggest day for hospital price transparency and its loyal legion of fans since January 1, 2021:@CMSGov just released recommended formats for hospital machine-readable files. Run, don't walk, to those schemas, people. blog.turquoise.health/cms-releases-r… #pricetransparency

@jfschneidr @z_miller4 Ask and thy shall receive. You can sign-up to get access to Rate Sense (don't worry, it's free). There you can search over 1 billion records of provider, payer, professional, drug, and device rates. turquoise.health/products/clear…

@z_miller4 I guess @TurquoiseHC could help with a consolidated dataset…

Price transparency data is so cool... Check out how different carriers perform in their rate negotiations at this hospital!

@EdbaldoAtLarge @KateClarkTweets Aw shucks, Ed. You're making us blush.

@KateClarkTweets The work Turquoise Health is doing with healthcare price transparency!

There’s a lot of doom and gloom in the venture capital, startups space right now. What are the bright spots? Besides generative AI. Curious!

In our humble opinion, nothing speaks to the complexity of healthcare like turning to the haiku for clarity. Use our 5/7/5's to finally understand every word, acronym, and phrase associated with Patient Estimates. blog.turquoise.health/breaking-down-… #pricetransparency

Exhibits 2 and 4 are interactive and particularly interesting! #13" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">commonwealthfund.org/publications/f… 4/4

TLDR: not all states have equal laws for payment determination, but partnering with the federal government can increase education and decrease disputes. 3/4

@commonwealthfnd released a thoughtful report about where states can step in and help with #NoSuprisesAct adherence, IDR education, and preventing disputes from escalating to the federal level. 1/4
