Problem

Chronic disease patients over 50 (hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, etc.) visit hospitals monthly, yet the actual cost for the same condition and same tests can vary 1.5-3x between clinics due to differences in non-covered (uninsured) items. The Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service publishes non-covered pricing data, but it's too complex for ordinary patients to interpret and impossible to filter by 'my specific condition.' Many patients unknowingly overpay by hundreds of dollars per year on unnecessary non-covered charges.

Solution

Enter your condition and location to see: 1) A side-by-side price comparison of non-covered items across clinics within 5km 2) Monthly average Medical cost distribution for patients with the same condition 3) A guide to identifying unnecessary non-covered tests — all on a single page.

Target: Adults aged 50-65 with chronic conditions (hypertension, diabetes, arthritis) visiting clinics 1-2 times monthly, questioning whether their Medical bills are reasonable
Revenue Model: Basic comparison free. Annual Medical cost analysis Report (my spending vs. average) at $2.90 Per Transaction. Clinic advertising and partnerships.
