Online Consumer Tools

AvMed’s easy-to-use online tools get members engaged in their healthcare. Regardless of what health plan option your client selects, employee education and engagement is key to helping control costs. We make tough decisions easy by supplying members with the resources they need to make informed decisions about the care they receive.

Knowledge is power. AvMed helps members manage their healthcare costs, compare care and avoid the complications associated with accessing care.

Registered members can access additional tools to learn about treatment options for a recent diagnosis, and what hospital has the best results treating similar cases. Our pre-estimate request provides estimates for the most common diagnostic procedures and inpatient and outpatient services, information that is particularly helpful to members with high deductible plans.

Florida Compare Care
Based on data collected by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), this tool evaluates Florida’s short-term acute care hospitals and ambulatory (outpatient) surgery centers. On this site, you may search these facilities for information such as re-admission rates, mortality rates and complication/infection rates. Searches may be done by county, city or zip code.

Find a High-Quality Hospital
Search hospitals by name, location, procedure/condition or overall quality. Ratings and cost estimates are easy to understand, with side-by-side comparisons and detailed profiles. This tool can help you manage your healthcare costs and avoid complications associated with poor care.

Find a High-Quality Physician
Search physicians by name, location and specialty. Physician profiles include such useful details as their education, board certification, sanctions and malpractice issues. You also can learn about estimated treatment costs and view affiliated hospitals and patient satisfaction survey results. With this information, you’ll be able to compare doctors and find the one who’s right for you.

ER v. Urgent Care Centers
Knowing the difference between when to go to the Emergency Room (ER), or when an Urgent Care Center will do, can save you time and money. More than half of all ER visits are for minor, non-urgent problems. That means paying three to four times more than you would if you were to go to an Urgent Care Center. View a list of freestanding Urgent Care Centers in your area.
