At St. Louis Laser Veins, we are committed to price transparency. Our prices are significantly lower than all our area competitors without sacrificing quality of care. When patients have reliable price information, they will make the best decisions for themselves and save money in the process. Hospitals and hospital-owned practices are historically infamous for their lack of transparency in pricing to their patients, often because their prices are higher and they have large markups in facility fees that they do not readily share.
St. Louis Laser Vein Center offers cash options in addition to working with insurance providers because this is often less expensive than going through insurance, especially in the case of high deductible policies.
Why Healthcare Can’t Escape the Tie Between Price and Value
A study conducted by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) recently provided key insights on the link between cost and value in healthcare. The examination was covered between 2010 and 2012 on patients that were actively seeking MRI services
Here are some facts about the study:
- There were two sets of groups examined.
-  Set #1 – received valuable pricing information and details regarding MRI providers in their region. Consequently, a drop of $99 was secured, and these patients ultimately paid around ten percent less.
- Set #2 – was in a similar predicament to set#1, but never received the pricing details that the first set of patients were privileged to receive. Subsequently, this group spent ten percent more or $97.
- The price difference between the two can be largely owed to Set #1’s use of low-cost and independently-run outpatient facilities, compared to the traditional hospitals in the area.
- The first set of patients migrated signups from hospital MRI services to outpatient centers from about 45-53%.

Timing Is Everything
– Healthcare facilities, whether independent or corporate, should run like a business while providing exceptional value to patients. To take advantage of the best times to approach new patients with pricing details, a good example can be taken from this study: the first set of patients was provided comparisons when they most needed it.
A lot of the general population will miss critical services due to high pricing. The study, however, shows a change in perceptions when price comparisons and transparency are furnished. Patients will ultimately value quality services, affordable pricing, and precise details about what’s included.
