The system or method may be financed by revenue from advertisements displayed to the user, membership fees for participating health care facilities or professionals, or search fees or click-through fees when a patient schedules or obtains treatment at a facility participating in the system or method. Bundled packages of surgeries, medical procedures, and medical or ancillary services may be offered to the user.
