Fremont, CA: Solv, an app that provides on-demand everyday healthcare, launched its ClearPrice initiative to address the industry's lack of healthcare price transparency. The initiative publishes cash prices for standard consumer healthcare services such as flu shots, covid tests, x-rays, stitches, and office visits. In addition, Solv collaborates with innovative, convenient care providers across the United States to share accurate, self-pay prices with consumers and make public, transparent prices the norm rather than the exception.
Due to high healthcare costs, nearly one-third of consumers avoid going to the doctor when they are sick. In addition, 50 percent of American consumers are perplexed by healthcare costs and regulations. 44 percent have received an unexpected medical bill, and 60 percent are concerned about receiving one. Meanwhile, more Americans than ever before (both uninsured and those with high-deductible healthcare plans) are opting to self-pay for healthcare to gain cost certainty and control.
