A Better Healthcare Experience: How One Patient Found Quality, Speed, and Affordability at Revere Health

Working for Planstin, a third-party administrator that helps businesses of all sizes provide affordable and effective health benefits, Daniel Adams understands healthcare costs better than most. So when he recently needed a CT scan, he approached the experience with both professional insight and personal curiosity.

After visiting Revere Health’s St. George Imaging clinic, Daniel felt compelled to share his experience publicly—and for good reason.

A Standout Patient Experience

From the moment he arrived at Revere Health, Daniel noticed a difference.

“I was warmly greeted, the signage was clear, the providers were kind, and their instructions were clear,” he said. “The nurse who did my IV asked about four different times if I was comfortable. I haven’t experienced care like that for a long time.”

That level of attentiveness continued throughout his visit.

“I felt the provider was kind and let me know what to expect, even giving me a hand in getting in and out of the machine. I could tell she was enjoying her job. I really appreciated that level of care.”

Beyond the personal touch, efficiency stood out as well. Despite the volume of patients in the clinic that day, operations were well organized, and he was seen within minutes. And he didn’t have to wait long for his results, either.

“I received my results almost immediately—within about an hour. It was great to have that information at my fingertips so quickly.”

Transparency That Empowers Patients

Daniel’s experience wasn’t just about excellent care—it was also about cost transparency and control.

After being quoted $343 for an eight-minute virtual consult with a GI specialist and $4,300 for a CT scan elsewhere, he began asking more questions.

“What level of service did they provide over the last eight minutes that merits $343? Are there other options in town offering the same CT service?”

That mindset led him to explore alternatives—and ultimately to Revere Health.

“When I say ask questions, it can be as simple as, ‘Is there a cash pay rate for this?’ or ‘Are there other places in town that do this?’ That’s where the free market does its thing. We all benefit when there are options and pricing stays competitive. Whether you use insurance or not, someone ends up paying the high costs at the end of the day.”

Real Savings for Patients and Employers

Because Planstin operates under a self-funded insurance structure, Daniel and his employer have the flexibility to seek out high-value care options.

“We can ask for cash-pay pricing and arrange everything up front. Revere has been an incredible partner with that—it’s really easy.”

That partnership has had a measurable impact—not just for Daniel personally, but for his entire organization.

“It creates savings out of pocket for me as the employee, but it also creates savings for my employer. That helps keep everyone’s premiums lower.”

In fact, while many organizations are seeing healthcare costs rise significantly, Daniel’s company has experienced the opposite.

“Our premiums actually dropped for 2026–2027. That’s unheard of right now. Most people are seeing increases between 10% and 40%, but ours went down—and a lot of that we can attribute to great options like Revere.”

A Model for Accessible, Affordable Care

Daniel’s experience highlights a powerful truth: high-quality healthcare doesn’t have to come with high costs or long delays. With the right providers—and a willingness to ask questions—patients can take greater control of both their care and their expenses.

“Healthcare can be useful and accessible when we work together and ask a few extra questions,” Daniel said.
