Posted: September 26, 2012
NEW YORK – Sept. 26, 2012 – FAIR Health, the independent not-for-profit corporation dedicated to bringing transparency to healthcare costs and out-of-network reimbursement, has launched FH Fee Estimatorsm (www.feeestimator.org <http://www.feeestimator.org> ) – offering healthcare professionals access to charge information based on FAIR Health’s comprehensive database of  billions of medical and dental procedures. Healthcare professionals who license the FAIR Health data can download benchmark fees for dental procedures and more than 40 medical specialties, including cardiology, hematology/oncology, dermatology, internal medicine, orthopedics and radiology. Charge data offered through FH Fee Estimator are sorted into approximately 500 geographic regions nationwide, ensuring that the information is relevant to practices, whether they operate in one or multiple regions.  The tool provides charge benchmarks for a variety of percentiles, ranging from the 50th to the 95th. The data are based on claims contributed to FAIR Health by over 70 insurers, plan administrators and others for a prior 12-month period. 

"Healthcare professionals today are challenged more than ever before," FAIR Health President Robin Gelburd said. "FH Fee Estimator can help them navigate reform initiatives underway and manage the business of their practice by assisting in the evaluation of payor and network participation, the design of fee schedules for specific regions, as well as the analysis of compensation models in health insurance exchanges and accountable care organizations.  FH Fee Estimator data are organized into more precise geographic areas than Medicare geographic practice cost indexes, so practices can feel confident in the applicability of the data presented. Ultimately, FH Fee Estimator can help keep the business side of practices running smoothly, enabling healthcare professionals to focus on patient care."

FH Fee Estimator can help physicians and dentists expand their practice into new geographic areas or new specialties by providing information on how fees may differ in these categories. It will also allow healthcare professionals to estimate the financial impact of new equipment purchases and leases by showing the fees associated with new services.
