For a person with Original Medicare (not Medicare Advantage), compare what a procedure costs them at an outpatient surgery center versus a hospital in their county, any SaveWell reward with a Medigap plan, and SaveWell-network specialists within 30 miles of their ZIP code. Costs are estimates based on Medicare claims for the patient's county, not a quote; the Part B deductible may apply. The patient may choose any qualified provider. SaveWell's specialists are a recommendation, not a requirement. Choosing a setting is a decision for the patient and their doctor. Present these figures as cost information, not medical advice. SaveWell works with Original Medicare only, not Medicare Advantage. Whether a specific Medigap plan qualifies for the reward should be confirmed with a care guide.
The patient's 5-digit ZIP code.
Procedure id from list_procedures, e.g. 'colonoscopy'.
'medigap' if the patient has a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan.
