careviso is proud to see our product, seeQer, at the forefront of price transparency technology, revolutionizing patient access and enabling healthcare providers to increase coverage transparency that informs and empowers patients.
In recent years, CMS has taken a more active role in ensuring price transparency for patients. While some implementations are on hold, it’s all but inevitable that providers will eventually be required to provide good faith estimates (GFEs) for scheduled services. This creates a new operational and technical challenge for providers looking to comply ahead of broad regulatory enforcement. Many of the tools in this category are packaged into broader patient access products that also include patient eligibility checking and patient payments, such as: careviso SeeQer Change Healthcare Clearance Estimator MD Clarity Clarity Flow FinThrive Patient Access PMMC Patient Estimates pVerify, Inc Patient Estimator TruBridge Patient Access Meanwhile, other products are sold on their own and focus just on solving the patient estimation problem, like: ClaraPrice GFEs ClearGage Treatment Estimation Experian Patient Estimates HealthMe GFE Rivet Patient Pricing Turquoise Health Instant GFEs Waystar Price Transparency When viewed from the regulatory angle, patient price estimation may not be the most exciting category, but it’s not just about regulatory compliance—it’s also a strategic advantage. By offering transparent pricing ahead of time, providers improve the chance that patients move forward with the service, reduce the likelihood of surprise billing disputes, and build a stronger relationship with the patient. Moreover, accurate estimates can support providers in value-based care models, where cost efficiency and patient outcomes are closely linked.
