Years ago, back in like 2011, I worked for pricedoc.com, this was our primary goal as well. Doctors wouldn't talk to us. Legally they're bound to not due to their insurance contracts. The only doctors we gained some traction with were plastic surgery, and dental. Because these doctors tend to deal more with cash patients. We didn't survive long. Maybe 14 months. Then sold our IP to some other startup called greatvets.com and we struggled like crazy to get exposure by vets to want to use our product. Same goal to provide cash prices. Good luck.

Oo that's a good domain name! I think this space is pretty challenging. We actually wanted to work on this before the regulation came out and ran into similar issues - however thanks to the transparency in coverage rule, we have access to their pricing info without having to speak to a single doctor! Although we still need to make relationships with doctors in order to get the business part to work.

We did hear from some dentists that their insurance company forbids them from sharing their rates, which makes it tough to add dentists to our platform.

If you want dentists on your platform, try to find dentist who are "fee for service", that's what the no-insurance shops call themselves.

If you have any other questions about working dentist, feel free to email me and we can setup a call. My wife is a dentist and we've learned a thing or two over the years.
