Episode 37: Making Healthcare Costs Transparent with Ethan Steininger from Compared Care

Ethan received his Bachelors in Health Administration and Information Systems at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. He worked at Johns Hopkins University conducting clinical research with patients which initiated his interest in the consumer-centric healthcare experience. He later worked at a Medical Billing and EHR software company. While there he discovered many of the problems patients face with understanding their medical bills. Ethan was inspired to solve this discrepancy by creating a minimalistic healthcare information portal for consumers to compare healthcare services among providers in their area. Some of Ethan's colleagues and classmates have joined the Compared Care team including Brandon, Compared Care's CTO and Ethan's co-founder. Compared Care is the winner of several awards including UMBC's first ever Cangialosi Business Innovation Competition.
