For patients with some serious ailments this is all fine but what about less serious issues like..a person with allergies, thyroid, migraine etc. These are kinds of things which bother people but still not enough to spend 5000 for analysis.
Probably a profile based pricing is a good idea? Just a thought.
An allergist is likely to have plenty of access to research, data analysis, etc. about their specialty, and cost significantly less than $5,000.
$5,000 would buy me consultations with 250 allergists, who'd likely be basing their conclusions on the same sort of research available to the health researchers at MetaMed, as well as it being their actual medical specialty.
The price is based on the amount of work that goes into each report. While people might like to get detailed information about their allergies, and would like to pay $200 for it, we can't review medical records and the literature for that little. Researcher time costs more than that.
But I feel pricing model needs a revisit.
