The consumer then checks pricing specific to that doctor when they submit a “wishlist” along with their contact info. The prospective patient gets pricing info and the doctor receives their contact information to navigate them through the healthcare process. The beta test will run over 6 months.

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is always looking for new ways to educate patients. And price transparency is a critical part of that education. At the same time, the Price Estimator allows ASAPS to support their member surgeons through lead generation.

While having a Price Estimator on the ASAPS site is only for ASAPS members, any type of doctor or facility that offers medically necessary services paid out of pocket because a deductible hasn’t been met can have a Price Estimator on their own site. Just click here and create a provider account. If you’re a consumer and looking for pricing info from Dr. Kaplan, click here.

Price Transparency in Healthcare

As you’ll see, Dr. Kaplan will discuss many of the topics related to his white paper published in the Annals of Plastic Surgery. Additionally, he’ll discuss the benefits of price transparency.

By encouraging the doctor to offer pricing information online, the patient can see pricing ahead of time. Therefore, they don’t waste 45 minutes of their own time describing their deepest insecurities  only to realize the cost is out of their budget. By knowing pricing prior to the consultation, they know whether the consultation is premature.

This is obviously beneficial for the doctor as well. By offering pricing information online, consumers can see what the “damage” is. In turn, the doctor focuses on the most serious of patients that attend the consultation after checking costs.

It’s natural to want pricing info before any big purchase. A house. A car. And healthcare costs. Dr. Kaplan will also discuss price transparency and lead generation at more upcoming meetings. Stay tuned to find out where.
