What is cash-pay healthcare?

Cash-pay healthcare means paying directly for medical services without using insurance. Many providers offer significant discounts — often 50–90% less than insurance billed rates — for patients who pay cash or by card at time of service.

How does MarketCare work?

MarketCare aggregates transparent cash-pay prices from 100+ Austin healthcare providers. Search for a procedure, compare prices and MarketCare Scores, then book directly with the provider. No middleman, no surprises.

Do I need insurance to use MarketCare?

No insurance is required. MarketCare is designed for self-employed, uninsured, and underinsured patients who want transparent pricing. All listed prices are cash-pay rates.
