Cash Pay
cash is king
When you “cash-pay”, you are very likely to receive a discount. Providers are relieved not to pay a claims team to process your bill or “chase the check,” and you’re relieved not to think about the bill anymore—no overhanging “pay-it-later” stress
what is cash-pay
Unlike other health plans, you pay upfront (cash-pay) for eligible services and are reimbursed a determined set rate for the given service. Paying cash not only saves you from surprise bills in the future, but you will also receive significant discounts because providers don’t have to chase the check. Everybody wins!
cash-pay vs traditional payment
traditional payment
Paying for healthcare has been done the same way for so long that we often don’t stop to realize that it doesn’t make sense. We go to the doctor and get billed months later for much more than we anticipated it would cost. Save money (and a headache) and come check out Start. Get a quote today!
