Member messages: Members turn to Healthcare Bluebook™ for help in finding fair prices
By Samaritan members · Jul 18, 2025
When I was using the (Healthcare Bluebook) website, I wasn’t sure if I was selecting the correct procedures for cost estimates. I called Jaleesa for help when my local provider gave me an outrageous estimate—about 10 times more than what I was seeing on the website. Jaleesa confirmed that a new provider I found had a more reasonable fee. She answered every question I had and communicated with the health care providers to get payment to them and communicated it to Samaritan Ministries. Jaleesa was exceptionally kind and helpful throughout a difficult time.

Healthcare Bluebook was able to locate a wonderful doctor and surgical center to perform my procedure. I received top-notch care for a fraction of the price of other providers. Emily handled everything and stayed in regular contact with me. They helped me connect with the new provider and even handled billing. If I ever have another need, I will 100% use their service again.

Because we recently moved to this area, we did not know who to go to for hip replacement surgery. I wanted to find someone good, and so I turned to the Healthcare Bluebook CareConnect™ program for help. They did all the research for me and found an incredible doctor and outpatient surgical center. In addition, they negotiated a price on my behalf and kept in constant contact with me about each and every detail. Christie was amazing and so kind and helpful. I had the surgery and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I am so grateful for the service and can only give them the highest recommendation.

Christie at Healthcare Bluebook was a dream to work with. She handled the entire process of scheduling to completion with the surgeon, the anesthesia service, and the clinic all the way through to handling the payment with each source. She initiated finding me a doctor in the beginning as well. It was like having a personal assistant do everything for you and all I had to do was show up. WOW! If I ever need medical attention again, I will use Bluebook CareConnect through Samaritan Ministries again. Thank you all that were involved!

Healthcare Bluebook alerted us that a planned hernia repair surgery through our closest option was grossly overcharging for a procedure that could be done 50 miles away for $20,000 less. Even though the surgeon had been met with, CT scans done, and surgery was scheduled, since it wasn’t emergent, we decided to cancel and reschedule to save Samaritan Ministries members money! We are thankful for their help!
