Calling All Health Care Shoppers: We Want You

Patients in this group would:

1. Receive health care at least once a month (see a doctor, have a test or be admitted to the hospital) for the next six months

2. Be ready to talk to their doctor, lab or the hospital about how much things cost

3. Be interested in reviewing price and quality information for hospitals and making choices based on this information

4. Be comfortable writing about their experiences on Facebook. These patients would be part of a Facebook group and would only share initial posts with each other. Martha would discuss, with each patient, what they are willing to share online and on the air.

If you are interested, please send a note to marthab@wbur.org or post a comment or question here.
