Fixing Unwarranted Price Variations, The Need for 2nd Opinions, & A Personal Connection Fueling the Passion

Peter Hayes, President & CEO at Healthcare Purchaser Alliance of Maine, is passionate about helping people get safe, high-quality care at an affordable price. 

Initially inspired by his work in the retail industry, where costs are known down to the penny, he was baffled how wildly healthcare costs can vary from one facility to the next. One example is arthritis treatment, which can cost $12-15k at the hospital, but only $4k in a physician’s office. Another revelation is that cost doesn’t always correlate to quality care. 

Peter has used out of the box thinking and data to give healthcare consumers a predictable way to reduce costs for the high-quality care they need and deserve. 

A scary experience with his son years ago has only intensified Peter’s passion, and reinforced his belief in the need to get second opinions to ensure patients get proper care.
