The prices you’re charged by medical professionals can vary widely and may have less to do with the quality of care you receive than they do with the type of coverage you carry. As an NAHC Member, we help you compare among the doctors, specialist and clinicians in your plan’s list of approved providers to help identify the finest-quality doctors and specialists for your specific medical needs.

We possess the working knowledge to help you find the best doctors in the specific areas of care you need, based on the accumulated reviews and ratings we’ve receive from actual patients.

• Identify the best doctors in your plan, for your needs
• Confirm your doctor can treat you at the best price
• Provide reviews and ratings on doctor quality

There are a variety of factors that can affect the prices you’re billed at the hospitals you select. These may include but are not limited to: the experience level and reputation of the hospital staff; the condition, age and location of the facility; the quality of service they offer; and, most importantly, whether or not your attending physician has admitting privileges.

Additionally, some hospitals are known to concentrate their expertise in specialized areas of care like treating pulmonary conditions, various types of cancer, or autoimmune disorders, leading them to deliver significantly better care than others when it comes to addressing specific conditions and performing specialized medical or surgical procedures.

NAHC can help you compare hospitals in your area to make sure the facility you’re considering offers not only admitting privileges to your doctor but also provides the highest level of service at a price you can afford to pay,

• Identify hospitals in your area rated 3-stars or higher
• Confirm your doctor can treat you at a specific facility
• Provide cost-comparison reviews and research

Not all doctors are created equal. And neither are the hospitals where they practice. So, in order to help you better understand, compare, and evaluate hospital quality and physician performance, NAHC provides you access to objective and comprehensive information in matters related to the healthcare quality and service records of America’s hospitals and medical praticioners.

We start by assisting you in evaluating and selecting the best doctors with the highest level of expertise in the specific area of care you need. Once your doctor is determined, we’ll help you identify the best qualified medical facility where your preferred doctor has admitting privileges.

Unlike other hospital-quality analyses, our evaluations rate hospital quality for conditions and procedures based on clinical outcomes. We measure hospital performance for the most common in-hospital procedures and conditions and adjust for your unique risk factors, such as age, gender and medical condition. Our analysis is based on more than 45 million Medicare medical claims records for the most recent three-year time period available from nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide.

So, whether you’re evaluating medical facilities or medical providers, NAHC helps you make sure that the doctor you choose can treat you at the facility you prefer; a facility with at least a 3-star rating or higher in your area of care.

• Evaluations of healthcare-facility quality
• Reviews on the reputations of doctors and clinicians
