Hi,
I’m Jake. In 2022 my mom got a bill for $6,840 after a 17-minute outpatient procedure she’d been told would be “mostly covered.” It wasn’t. We spent four months fighting it.
The worst part wasn’t the money. It was finding out, afterward, that a clinic two miles away charged $1,195 flat, all-in, for the exact same thing. Same CPT code. Same specialists. Same outcome.
That price existed. Nobody told us. There was no place to look it up.
So my co-founder Ben and I started calling clinics. By hand. One at a time. We built a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet became MarketCare.
Today we publish verified cash prices for 497 procedures across 115 Austin providers. We call every clinic ourselves. We record the quote reference, the agent name, the date. We re-verify quarterly. When a clinic changes its price, we update within 72 hours.
We do not take money from hospitals. We do not take money from insurers. We do not sell your data. A small subscription from patients and a modest listing fee from clinics pays for the team.
If you find a better price than what we’ve published, tell us. We’ll call the clinic today and fix it by tomorrow.
Thanks for trusting us.
