Why It Works

The law says prices must be posted.
43% of hospitals are posting fewer.

Since 2021, hospitals have been legally required to publish their prices. Most don't comply. MedBid bypasses the problem entirely — providers bid to you directly, in real time.

The market, not just the data
Price transparency laws created spreadsheets — not savings. Cash prices are already 39% cheaper than insurer rates on average. MedBid's reverse-bid market pushes even further through real competition.
Verified providers only
Every provider on MedBid is credentialed, licensed, and reviewed. You know exactly who is bidding before you accept — credentials, location, and patient ratings included.
No surprise bills
The bid you accept is the price you pay. No facility fees, no hidden markups. And if you ever need to fight a medical bill, your rights are protected under federal law — we'll point you to the resources.
Know your rights. Since Jan 1, 2021, hospitals must post their prices by federal law. 43% are non-compliant. You can report them to CMS — or use MedBid and skip the system entirely.
