HCCI research on shoppable services was mentioned in an article written by the LA Times.
From the article:
"By one estimate by the Health Care Cost Institute, just 7% of total healthcare spending for Americans with job-based coverage was on medical services that could be considered 'shoppable' because the service required an out-of-pocket payment and the procedure could be researched in advance."
