Florida Matters Preview: PriceCheck Stories

Health care costs are a pain. That's why Health News Florida has PriceCheck, an online tool to help you compare costs of common health procedures. This week on Florida Matters we're featuring people who shared their own frustrations and sticker shock!

In this preview, we hear from a Bay Area resident who tried to shop around for a CT scan, but it didn't quite work out.

Sound familiar? Share your story with us or enter your information into the PriceCheck database.

You can hear more stories of billing fiascoes and get tips on how to deal with health care costs this week on Florida Matters. You can also hear another PriceCheck story this Thursday during our regular Health News Florida segment. 

I cover health care for WUSF and the statewide journalism collaborative Health News Florida. I’m passionate about highlighting community efforts to improve the quality of care in our state and make it more accessible to all Floridians. I’m also committed to holding those in power accountable when they fail to prioritize the health needs of the people they serve.
