- Check with your insurer: Don't make a big bill even larger by shopping for care outside your health insurer's network of doctors
- Ask for help: Your insurer may offer an application or online tool that lets you compare prices based on your coverage
- Press for details: Make sure you have the full picture of potential bills you may face
- Don't equate price with quality: Hospitals may charge different prices for a procedure depending on the patient's coverage
- Think hard about quality: Consider how much experience a provider has with a surgery or infection as well as readmission rates
