This is a terrible idea.
Which is better, a CT Scan for $1000 or one for $10,000?
You probably guessed the cheaper one, right? Thinking "all CT Scans are the same," right? I happen to know that's not remotely true, but it's easy to think that saving money on a test would make sense, right?
Okay, now which is better, open-heart surgery for $20,000 or $200,000?
That's a lot harder to answer, isn't it?
You need to know the outcomes of those procedures at that facility, compared to other facilities, to have any possible way to judge them.
