Bill Hennessey, MD, a board-certified physical medicine and rehabilitation physician, has launched www.pratter.us, a healthcare price transparency website, according to a report by The Charleston Gazette.
Thus far, the website has gathered pricing information from hospitals in six states, including West Virginia. Dr. Hennessey has also posted his practice’s prices on the website.
All pricing information was gathered from publically disclosed data. The website is expected to continue to expand, hopefully with the participation of healthcare providers.
