Elisabeth Leamy who is the Consumer Correspondent for the Good Morning America show has a new book out called Save Big.
In addition to tips on expenses around housing, transportation, loans and grocery shopping, she has an entire section devoted to healthcare costs.
It is definitely worth reading and can help consumers with health insurance suggestions as well as suggestions for finding care and prescriptions.
Not surprisingly she recommends negotiating with your doctor.
We were glad to see that she suggested using The Healthcare Blue Book as a great place to find out how much your care should cost. As Leamy reports, the Healthcare Blue Book's fair price is "a great starting point for discussion- and negotiation."
Healthcare Transparency: news and issues important to the healthcare industry and healthcare consumers. A current look at pricing and quality transparency in health care. Consumers and employers using HSA, HRA, FSA, CDHP, and high deductible benefits need increased transparency.
