About Fair Market Health

What is Fair Market Health? 

Fair Market Health is an easy way to receive quality healthcare services at an affordable and transparent price. Simply select a service, view the available pricing, pay (if required), and schedule. It's that simple. We take the guesswork out of healthcare.

Who can use Fair Market Health? 

Fair Market Health is for patients paying for healthcare out-of-pocket, or for patients whose employers have partnered with Fair Market Health. In the case of the former, this includes patients without insurance, patients with high insurance deductibles who don't plan on meeting their annual deductible, or patients looking for affordable healthcare services not covered by their insurance plan. In the case of patients whose employers have partnered with us, see the next question. 

Does Fair Market Health work with employers? 

Yes! Wholly or partially self-insured employers can offer Fair Market Health as an employee health benefit. Doing so empowers employees and has the potential to save the employer thousands of dollars. Interested employers can learn more on the Employers page. 

Does Fair Market Health work with Medicare, Medicaid, or Tricare? 

No. Patients with Medicare, Medicaid, or Tricare will need to go through their government-funded health plan. Fair Market Health is not currently available to individuals enrolled in these benefits.

Do I have to purchase an office visit/consult before purchasing a surgery?

My doctor or healthcare service isn't on Fair Market Health. Do I have to switch? 

If you do not see your physician or procedure on Fair Market Health, please reach out to our support team. We will contact the provider about offering your care through our platform. 

Can I use my insurance for a procedure purchased through Fair Market Health? 

No, you cannot use insurance with Fair Market Health. Because we're connecting you directly with high-quality providers, you'll get competitive rates and all-inclusive upfront pricing. If you're insured and you want to pay for a service through Fair Market Health instead of using your health plan, your Fair Market Health purchase will not be reported to your health plan, and you may be asked to sign a Notice of Non-Coverage by the provider.
