Patient Rights Advocate

PatientRightsAdvocate.org is a nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in the United States dedicated to promoting healthcare price transparency. With a team of three employees, the organization strives to empower patients and employers to make informed decisions about their healthcare by advocating for upfront, binding healthcare prices. PatientRightsAdvocate.org provides resources and information to help patients, employees, employers, unions, and state and local governments understand their right to access accurate healthcare costs. They engage in advocacy efforts, provide testimony to legislative bodies, conduct legal research, and run grassroots campaigns to push for systemwide price transparency. Their goal is to create a functional and competitive healthcare marketplace where consumers can compare prices and quality of care, ultimately reducing healthcare costs and improving overall system efficiency. The organization distinguishes itself by focusing on achieving actual, upfront prices rather than estimates. They believe that binding prices will provide consumers with financial certainty and empower them to hold hospitals and health insurers accountable for price gouging and billing practices. By advocating for price transparency, PatientRightsAdvocate.org aims to improve the quality of healthcare by encouraging providers and insurers to compete based on price and quality.
