Our Mission — All doctors should understand how the decisions they make impact what patients pay.
Theory of Change
Costs of Care will eliminate preventable
causes of bankruptcy by driving a paradigm shift in medical decision
making towards cost-awareness. Currently, doctors are missing the
information they need to understand how the decisions they make impact
what patients pay for care. We will create new awareness of costs by using
information technology to provide doctors with the prices patients face
at the critical moment when medical decisions are made.
- Drawing an explicit link between these
decisions and the potential to bankrupt the patient in front of them
will induce doctors to consider costs.
- Doctors
who consider costs will continue ordering tests and treatments patients
need to get better, but will be less likely to order superfluous tests
that inflate medical bills unnecessarily.
