    1st for me: my insurer saw I scheduled an MRI and called with list of nearby/cheaper spots asking if I’d switch. I did. Cutting costs, woo!

        @sarahkliff @THCBstaff Well, also be careful you're not getting the crappiest #MRI either. #insurance companies don't look into that.

        @sarahkliff At my office, we are offered comparison shopping for procedures, and if we choose the cheapest option we receive gift cards.

        @sarahkliff Some research suggests this works to cut costs, even for providers who don't participate (competition!)http://www.healthsystemtracker.org/2014/08/price-transparency-reduces-mri-costs-and-stimulates-provider-competition/ …

        @sarahkliff Does your health insurer offer a "Where to get medical procedures" phone line for prechecking cheaper approved sources?
