All our prices listed are the cash-prices (out of pocket) and we list the highest price a clinic or doctor has charged their patients. If a clinic or physician wants to lower their prices they can adopt their pages for free and simply change them. Or ask us. We'll do it for them.

Patients will send them requests for consultation. Companies and patient groups will be looking for deals and specials. Doctors might reach out to patients who could otherwise not afford healthcare but are promoted by peer-funding.
