What it does

Find care you can afford

Community health centers and free clinics near you. Many charge based on your income and see you regardless of ability to pay.

Look up a price

Search any procedure by name or code and see what hospitals near you charge, plus what insurers have negotiated.

Read your bill

Photograph an itemized bill, EOB, or Good Faith Estimate. We pull out the line items and show you what each code means.

Watch a price

Pick a procedure and we'll email you if the price drops. One watch is free.

How it works

  1. Tell us what you need

    A checkup, an urgent problem, a scan, a prescription. Plain language — you don't need to know what it's called.

  2. See what's near you

    Places that can help, closest first, with what they charge and how they bill.

  3. Call before you go

    Hours vary and some locations are appointment-only. We give you the number and what to ask for.

Start with what you need.

Free to use. Pro pays for the watching, not the knowing.
