“Thank you Compass for ALL of your help!  I have only lived in Texas 2 ½ years and Compass has given me the best service of ANY place, (restaurants, stores, hospitals, doctors, insurance company, cable, phone, internet, etc…), hands-down! “

-Ruth, Bank employee

“I heard back from [the insurance company] and received the 50% reimbursement that I was looking for. I can’t thank Compass enough for your help. Your assistance relieved so much of my stress. I will sing praises to Compass to everyone.”
–Amber, Property Management Company employee

With your help on alternative blood pressure and high cholesterol medicine for my husband, we are
saving close to $200.00 a month. Thank you for saving us money.
–Lacey, Marketing Company employee

“I saved quite a bit out of pocket with the MRI and Doppler Compass found me. Both places were excellent in getting me in and treating me. They are near enough to each other you can schedule them same day. I let my boss know how this worked for me. In addition to that it saved $1,400 on my deductible which is $2,500. So my boss will not have to pay as much out of pocket for me either.”
–Beth, Manufacturing Company employee

After getting a mammogram back in April, I received a $106.25 bill from the radiologist who read it.
I knew I shouldn’t have to pay it, and contacted Compass. After researching it, she said they sent it to
a radiologist who was out of network…Compass appealed it, and forced them to file it in network…and
I now have a zero balance! Compass really was a big help to me!
–Abby, Distribution and Manufacturing Company employee

“I am very pleased with the help I have received from Compass. You have responded quickly to my
questions and given me details to make a decision and most important to me, you saved me money,
almost $1,200! I will continue to use Compass for any future needs.”
–Dawn, Retail Company employee

“I cannot tell you both what a pleasure it is to work with you. As a consumer, I normally have no idea
what the costs of the various tests are that the doctors ask for. But last week when the doctor wanted
to send me to the local hospital to get an MRI done, Compass discovered it would be nearly $1600
plus $200-$400 to read it. There was a place about 10 miles further away who would do the very same
thing for $750 including the reading, there is no choice but to take the least expensive one. And to add
to this, the service was very good. You would never know it was less cost by the service. They got me in
the day I wanted so I did not have to miss a minute of work, and everything went like clockwork.”
–Sarah, Manufacturing Company employee

Compass has been providing a healthcare price-transparency solution to employers for three years.  Castlight’s fundraising further supports the Compass value proposition.

Compass’ 120+ employer clients in 46 states are actively using Compass to shop for lower cost healthcare services.  Not only are Compass customers saving money, but they also have higher levels of benefit satisfaction and feel very supported during the paradigm shift to a consumer directed health plan.

Consumerism will continue to address these trends in a positive fashion for employers and their employees. There are many examples of this positive effect of consumerism. The Land O’Lakes, Inc experience is just one of them: http://newsroom.cigna.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=1144

Now that the legislation has passed, Consumerism will still bring Lower Cost, Improved Quality, Better Access.

While no-one wants to see healthcare costs continuing to increase, you can prepare and protect yourself against these changes when you use Compass as your guide. We are only the only service with the market intelligence and consumer savvy to help you get ahead of your healthcare decision making. Compass gives you the tools to know how to spend your money wisely while accessing the quality care you need.

Here is his last paragraph:

“Before we further remove ourselves as direct consumers of healthcare -with all of our beneficial influence on quality, service, and price – let me ask you to consider one more question. Imagine my father’s hospital had to submit the bill for his “care” not to a government bureaucracy but to my grieving mother. Do you really believe the hospital – forced to face the victim of its poor quality service, forced to collect the bill from the real customer – wouldn’t have figured out how to make its doctors wash their hands?”
