Healthcare Pricing Shouldn't Be a Secret
MarketCare helps Austin residents find transparent, affordable healthcare without the insurance runaround.
Our Mission
We believe everyone deserves to know what healthcare costs before they walk into a doctor's office. MarketCare was built to give self-employed workers, uninsured individuals, and anyone frustrated with surprise medical bills the power to shop for healthcare like any other service.
No more mystery bills. No more insurance middlemen. Just transparent prices from real Austin providers who want your business.
The Problem
Healthcare Pricing is Broken
The same X-ray can cost $33 at one clinic and $300 at another — but you'd never know it until after the bill arrives. Insurance companies negotiate secret rates, hospitals refuse to publish prices, and patients are left in the dark.
Self-Employed Get Squeezed
If you're self-employed, your "insurance" often means sky-high premiums plus a $5,000+ deductible. Many realize they're better off paying cash — but where do you even start?
Price Shopping is Nearly Impossible
Try calling five clinics to ask "How much for a blood test?" You'll spend hours on hold, get vague answers, and maybe — if you're lucky — find one person who can quote you a price.
Our Solution
Verified Prices
We research and verify cash-pay prices from real Austin providers. Every price you see is backed by public information or direct provider confirmation.

Who This Is For
Self-Employed
You're paying for insurance that doesn't kick in until you hit a massive deductible. Cash-pay pricing can save you thousands per year.
Uninsured
No insurance? No problem. Many providers offer steep discounts for cash-pay patients who skip the insurance paperwork.
High-Deductible Plans
With a $5,000+ deductible, you're essentially self-pay for routine care. Why not price shop and save?
