Revolutionary open healthcare market launches to empower consumers to make informed, value-based decisions

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SnapHealth, a revolutionary open healthcare market, today announced Kathryn Reed of Spring, Texas as the winner of their FREE TEXAS! $2,000 Giveaway. SnapHealth empowers the consumer to search for the services they need, schedule appointments and pay less for doctor visits and medical tests.

“Healthcare is broken and SnapHealth has set out to fix it by empowering the patients”

With nearly 25 percent of Texas’ population uninsured, the FREE TEXAS! Giveaway was designed to give Texans affordable, accessible prices on healthcare services by offering $2,000 toward healthcare bills. The FREE TEXAS! $2,000 prize can be used to pay healthcare bills booked through SnapHealth.com for one year.

“As a self- employed person, I recently had to drop my health coverage due to unavoidable circumstances,” said Kathryn Reed, FREE TEXAS! Giveaway Winner. “The idea of affordable health care greatly interests me! I'm in good health, but I would like to use the prize for recommended check-ups I have been putting off.”

SnapHealth offers a new way for insured, uninsured and cash-pay patients to find and pay lower, transparent rates on cash-based healthcare services for doctor visits, specialty doctors and medical tests. According to a recent report from the Institute of Medicine, 63 percent of patients don’t know how much their care costs until they receive a bill.

“Healthcare is broken and SnapHealth has set out to fix it by empowering the patients,” said David Wong, SnapHealth CEO and co-founder. “The Center for American Progress recently gathered leading health-policy experts to discuss innovative solutions to control the overall growth in health costs. Among their recommendations, was to require full transparency of prices so that consumers can make informed decisions on the basis of value. That’s exactly the solution we are offering at SnapHealth.com.”
