With all the talk about needing to find a cure for breast
cancer, the conversation rarely makes its way to a one huge factor other than
saving lives. The cost of treatments.
Most people don’t think about this aspect of care until you
are thrown face first into a disease that is at the moment incurable, but
requires multiple forms of treatment. One thing that is not disgusted when talking
about saving a life, is the cost.
Have you ever thought about how much it could cost to keep
yourself or a loved one healthy while living with a disease? I have. Living
with Stage 4 breast cancer, I have seen some crazy high medical bills come into
our mailbox. I am talking $10,000 for one treatment. What would I do if I didn’t
have insurance?
I would surely want to shop around if I didn’t have
insurance. Wouldn’t you?
I just learned of an awesome new site, www.amino.com/cost that shows you the estimates for ~50 medical procedures and
services nationwide across dermatology, diagnostics, men’s health, orthopedics,
preventative care, surgeries, and women’s health -- including mammograms (diagnostic
& screening).
The tool lets you:
· Compare cost differences in your region based
on your insurance.
· Calculate what you might pay from your own
bank account with an out-of-pocket cost calculator.
· View and compare cost estimates for individual
doctors–and book an appointment with the doctor of your choice for free through Amino.

If
you knew these numbers beforehand, would it help you make a choice on where you
went to get treated? Now with the help of Amino.com you can know the numbers
beforehand and not have bill shock when you open the mail.
