Colorado s Spanish-speaking communities can now access comprehensive pricing information for health-care services through a new Spanish portal in the Shop For Care tool developed by the Center for Improving Value in Health Care. Cari Frank, vice president for communications for Center for Improving Value in Health Care, said the tool is a game-changer, and has saved consumers thousands of dollars in medical bills, because it allows anyone to see the true costs of medical procedures across all of the state s hospitals and other care facilities. "This tool actually enables people who maybe have high copays to be able to say, OK, if I need a colonoscopy, or I m having a baby, I can actually use this tool to figure out where I can get the best quality of care at the lowest price, " she said.
