TrueCost Launches Free Beta: Healthcare Pricing Transparency for Everyone

Today we're launching TrueCost in public beta. Our mission is simple: make it possible for every patient to know what healthcare actually costs before they walk in the door.

The average American family spends over $22,000 per year on healthcare. Yet most people have no idea what any given procedure costs until the bill arrives — and by then, it's too late to negotiate.

TrueCost changes that. We use Medicare reimbursement data, geographic cost indexes, and public hospital pricing to calculate fair cash prices for thousands of medical procedures. Then we give you word-for-word negotiation scripts with real dollar amounts for your area.

During our beta period, every feature is free — unlimited price lookups, bill analysis, provider search, and our AI cost navigator. No credit card required. We're building this with early users, and we want your feedback on what matters most.

80% of hospital bills contain errors averaging $1,300. One caught error pays for years of TrueCost. But during beta, it won't cost you anything to find out.
