Frequently Asked Questions
About Fair Market Health
What is Fair Market Health?
Fair Market Health is an easy way to receive quality healthcare services at an affordable and transparent price. Simply select a service, view the available pricing, pay, and schedule. It's that simple. We take the guesswork out of healthcare.
Who can use Fair Market Health?
Fair Market Health is for patients paying for healthcare out-of-pocket, or for patients whose employers have partnered with Fair Market Health. In the case of the former, this includes patients without insurance, patients with high insurance deductibles who don't plan on meeting their annual deductible, or patients looking for affordable healthcare services not covered by their insurance plan. In the case of patients whose employers have partnered with us, see the next question.
Does Fair Market Health work with employers?
Does Fair Market Health work with Medicare/Medicaid/Tricare?
No. Patients with Medicare, Medicaid, or Tricare will need to go through their government-funded health plan. Fair Market Health is not currently available to individuals enrolled in these benefits.
How It Works
How do I schedule a service?
Do I have to purchase an office visit/consult before purchasing a surgery?
Yes. A consult/office visit with the surgeon is required for all major procedures and surgeries.
My doctor isn't on Fair Market Health. Can I still use them, or do I have to switch?
If you do not see your physician on Fair Market Health, please reach out to our support team at (316) 202-8558. We will contact the provider about offering their services through our platform.
Why isn't my service available on the site?
If you do not see a needed service on the site, contact our support team at (316) 202-8558 and we'll work hard to see if the procedure can be added.
Can I use my insurance for a procedure purchased through Fair Market Health?
If you're a patient whose employer has partnered with us, it will depend on the plan your organization offers you. If this is your case, please call our patient experience team at (316) 202-8558 and we'll explain the plan to you and what it means for the procedure in question. If you're a patient not associated with a partner employer then no, you cannot use insurance with Fair Market Health. Because we're connecting you directly with high-quality providers, you'll get competitive rates and all-inclusive pricing.

What is Fair Market Health?
Fair Market Health is an easy way to receive quality healthcare services at an affordable and transparent price. Simply select a service, view the available pricing, pay, and schedule. It's that simple. We take the guesswork out of healthcare.
Is there a cost to be listed on the Fair Market Health platform?
No. We do not charge providers either a one-time fee or a recurring subscription to be a part of our platform. We charge a percentage against the cost of the all-inclusive price for the procedures offered. Because you're in charge of your own pricing on the site, you can make whatever adjustments are necessary to ensure you're paid a fair fee for your services.
Will we have to negotiate set rates and/or allowable fees with Fair Market Health?
No, not at all. That is not how Fair Market Health works. We are an open marketplace for healthcare and it's you, the providers, who set your own prices.
How do we get paid?
Payment is automatically transferred to you within just days of the procedure's completion. Because Fair Market Health collects payment up front, there's no billing or collections ever needed.
How To Participate
I'm a provider interested in participating in Fair Market Health. What do I need to do?
I'm interested, but in order to perform the services I offer, I require other elements like an anesthesiologist, and a surgical center.
How It Works
I'm an interested employer. To offer Fair Market Health to our employees do I have to leave my current insurance carrier?
No. Fair Market Health works with employers of all sizes who are interested in providing their employees access to affordable healthcare at transparent prices. Fair Market Health can work in conjunction with any existing or future benefit plan design, insurance-carrier arranged provider network, or claims administrator.
Why does Fair Market Health believe it can save our company money?
Because Fair Market Health pays its Providers directly, Providers can offer much better pricing for their services. We can't guarantee we'll save you money but, so far, for the employers we've partnered with, we have.
We are fully insured, meaning we pay our insurance provider premiums so that they cover, entirely, the costs of our employee's healthcare benefit. Can offering Fair Market Health help us save money?
Fair Market Health provides the most value to employers who are wholly or partially self-insured. If you assume some of the risk of the healthcare benefit for your employees, then you are incentivized to make sure they make economically beneficial decisions regarding their care. That's where competitive, transparent, and all-inclusive pricing from Fair Market Health comes in.
