HealthPartners members are able to price shop for even more health procedures under an expanded Web tool the health insurer offers its members.
The secure website, available only to HealthPartners members, recently added prices for 32 previously unlisted procedures, including various lab tests, MRI/CT scans, immunizations and complex surgeries and outpatient procedures such as gall bladder surgery, hysterectomy, colonoscopy, hip replacement and hernia repair surgery.
“Providing more specific prices for our members is another way we can be as transparent as possible,” said Scott Aebischer, HealthPartners’ senior vice president of customer service and product innovation.
“If you’re paying out-of-pocket fees, seeing the actual price really helps you determine if the care provider is right for you.”
The Bloomington-based health provider and insurer’s members can now check the price of 126 procedures, including several major surgeries and outpatient procedures.
HealthPartners launched its Web price tool in the fall of 2008.
