We want to change the way you search for medical services and incentivize you for your shopping savvy. Clinics, hospitals and other facilities may have different expenses for the services they offer. Not only do you save on out-of-pocket costs when you choose a cost-efficient location, you get rewarded for being a smart shopper.

Visit bcidaho.com/smartshopper and watch their short video tutorial.

You can shop for routine procedures, preventive exams, imaging scans, and scheduled surgeries. Explore your options that compare both cost and quality using nationally recognized metrics as well as ratings and reviews from other patients.
