CarePrice
Empowering Patients with Transparent Dental Costs
Introduction
CarePrice is a technology startup creating a price-transparency platform specifically for uninsured and underinsured patients who need high-cost dental procedures like implants, crowns, and bridges. Our mission is to empower patients with clear, upfront pricing so they can compare local dental offices and find the care that fits both their needs and their budget.
Problem
Millions of Americans skip or postpone critical dental treatments due to lack of insurance and opaque, unpredictable pricing. In places like Greater Boston, patients often have to call multiple dentists for vague quotes, while hidden fees or surprise bills keep them from seeking timely care. This lack of transparency forces many to suffer dental pain, incur high credit-card debt, or simply avoid treatment altogether.
Opportunity
CarePrice partners with independent dentists willing to publish approximate out-of-pocket costs and financing options for major procedures. Patients can search by location or treatment type to see transparent pricing, read reviews, and book appointments directly on our platform. For dentists, we offer a pay-per-booking or subscription model that connects them with cost-conscious patients, filling empty appointment slots while building trust through price transparency.
