Bringing transparency to health care
by telling people what stuff costs.
The problem
• No one knows health prices in advance• Prices for the same procedure vary 10x
in the same locale.
Our solution
• We’re telling people real health-care prices..
• An MRI: $350 or $3,500? • An IUD: $175 or $1,156?• A mammogram: $56 or $2,786.95?

1. The customer piece
• Women: They make 80-90% of health-care decisions
• Uninsured, high-deductible • News organizations
2. The tech piece
• Hiring devs: Portland, NYC, Vietnam, Lincoln, Neb., Cleveland, Kiev and Paris
• Project management and scoping/specs• Web site design—DB design—wireframing—
Python or Rails or Java, oh my!?• It’s not rocket science
3. The money piece
• Business to consumer (ads/sponsorships, freemium subscription)
• Business to business (widgets, consulting, business services)
• CHC as a service provider and developer resource
Networks work
• My three grant organizations. I lurve them.• Women (IWMF, J-Lab, xx in tech, techlady
mafia)
• Less so: The startup world• Less so: The health ecosystem (a lot of
pressure for business as usual)
What’s new? What’s next?
• Timing matters.• We’re now in 7 metro areas• 50% of our traffic is mobile• Crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing with WNYC
Lessons learned
• When they say “no” it means “not yet”• Listen to your customers (vasectomies! STD
testing!)• Most important: Solve a really big problem.
