Costectomy Launches Innovative Healthcare Platform
Physician-backed medical program brings cost transparency and selection to the high-priced healthcare industry
HOUSTON, Oct. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Costectomy, an emerging innovator in the medical services sector, announced today the launch of its groundbreaking, cash-based medical lead generation platform designed to empower all health care patients, including providing much needed medical care to underinsured and uninsured individuals.
The Costectomy model provides a blueprint for the national health care system by providing transparency in pricing, reducing barriers to care, and building business for doctors, health systems and facilities. Patients who investigate cost estimates for their health care actually spend more overall on their care than those who do not research costs, studies have shown. This trend results in deeper levels of health care for patients and more business for physicians and hospitals.
"So many Americans are without medical care or are forgoing necessary treatments because of the stranglehold that insurance companies have on the healthcare industry; Costectomy seeks to empower both the patient and physician to arrive at better health care decisions," said Dr. Mirza Baig, founder and CEO of Costectomy. "What we've created is a platform where people can shop for medical services with transparent upfront pricing, the ability to bundle prices and to remove any gimmicks in our health care delivery. Our system is allowing patients to take their care into their own hands instead of being at the mercy of high-priced insurance plans."
As practicing medical professionals, Baig and his team of medical providers and advisors have created the Costectomy platform to introduce price transparency and medical care to the underinsured, uninsured and middle-class families who struggle to afford consistently high-priced insurance plans.
Open to individuals of all demographics in the greater-Houston area, Costectomy offers cash-based care in the areas of primary care, urgent care, emergency care, pain management, gastroenterology, bariatrics, and lab testing, with additional medical partnerships being added every day. One of every six Texas residents lacks health care insurance, the highest rate in the nation.
