New Website Helps Families Find Better Healthcare at a Better Price

PriceDoc.com is a free website that lets cash-paying patients shop and compare
prices for medical, dental and elective procedures

SEATTLE, April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- With an estimated 700,000 people without
health insurance in Washington, and another 1.4 million without dental
insurance, finding affordable healthcare can be difficult when the need
arises. Many who do have health insurance find that vision, dentistry,
cosmetic, or preventative procedures are not covered, causing them to pay out
of pocket.

A new website, however, offers patients an opportunity to find the healthcare
they need at the right price.

PriceDoc (www.pricedoc.com) brings cash-paying patients together with
healthcare providers who offer the services they need. PriceDoc is similar to
web pages that help travelers find the best deals, but is the first to connect
the vast market of cash-paying patients to providers. Many of the uninsured
are young adults and middle-class families who cannot afford healthcare. These
groups still need medical and dental treatment, but may prefer to pay cash for
the services.

"PriceDoc is a win-win solution for physicians and patients," says Glenn
Safadago, CMO of PriceDoc. "PriceDoc helps patients who have avoided
healthcare because of the cost find a qualified provider that's right for them
at an affordable price. Providers save money by eliminating payment delays
from insurance companies and improves their cash flow by introducing new,
cash-paying patients."

A powerful option on the PriceDoc website is the "Name Your Price" feature. If
the patient is not able to find a price within their budget, he or she is then
able to post the price that they can afford. PriceDoc then searches for a
provider that will accept their offered price and notifies the consumer
instantly.

Patients can compare the credentials, services and prices of nearly 300 local
area doctors, dentists and other healthcare professionals.

PriceDoc also helps those seeking elective procedures, those with health
savings accounts or high-deductible health insurance, find affordable care.

The Puget Sound area is the first region where PriceDoc is being offered, with
planned expansion to California in 2010.

"It's only natural that we launch PriceDoc in Seattle," says Safadago.
"Seattle is the leading city in the United States for e-commerce, software and
Internet technology with companies such as Amazon and Microsoft. Historically,
Seattle has been the testing ground for many innovative web based and medical
technology companies. It is the perfect place to launch a product that helps
make healthcare affordable to as many Americans as possible."
