Systems and methods are described for providing consumers with access to the discounted rates for health care procedures provided by primary care physicians, specialist physicians and facilities. Fee information for contracted providers is stored in a database and is accessible to consumers via an online interface. Consumers select query criteria for providers and are presented with actual cost information pertaining to procedures prospectively rendered by providers. Additional information, such as quality or efficiency of providers, can also be presented. Information on multiple providers can be obtained and presented in a comparative arrangement. The presented information can be limited to providers within a geographic region, within a cost range, within a quality range, or other criteria. |
