App allows customers to 'shop best prices' for personal healthcare

Most people believe they have no opportunity to shop for the best price for their personal health care. However, UnitedHealthcare has developed a free app called Health4Me for iPhones and Android devices. The app provides a range of estimated costs for common health care procedures and services, allowing people to comparison shop. CHI Health also has a website at http://tp.chi.acelogicus.net/nesf that can give estimated costs at CHI Health St. Francis for a range of medical areas. The UnitedHealthcare app has been available since 2012.
