Health care cost resource

I just stumbled across this site for finding basic health procedure costs in New Hampshire. It's pretty eye opening. It's also refreshing to see prices disclosed so frankly for the public. Working in the health care industry, I'm constantly running into the brick wall that is CPT codes and medical pricing.

Another great site is the Physician Procedures section of the MyHealthScore web site.

More pricing information needs to be disclosed if medical costs are ever going to be brought back under control. Funny how the doctor's love the free market system when it comes to bringing down the cost of their new Mercedes, but they don't necessarily want clear stated pricing in the medical world, because that could lead to competition.
