CareCompass

CareCompass is a healthcare comparison platform based in Kampala, Uganda, that helps patients find and compare medical services. It allows users to look up doctors, clinics, and hospitals while comparing prices for diagnostic scans like MRI, CT, ultrasound, X-ray, and laboratory tests. The service also provides information on surgery costs, doctor consultations, urgent care, prescription refills, and medical certificates.

The platform is free for patients and displays facility prices with dates to support cost transparency. It allows users to search by location, insurance provider, or specific scan type, and shows the cheapest facility first. The website lists over 114 facilities across Kampala and includes tools like a sick leave calculator and a BMI calculator for additional patient resources.

CareCompass works with 37 partners across seven categories, including insurers, banks, mobile money providers, and non-profits. Insurance partners like Jubilee Insurance and Old Mutual allow members to see accepted facilities and in-network savings, while banks like Equity Bank and Centenary Bank offer medical financing options for planned procedures.

The platform lists specific diagnostic centers and labs such as Kampala Imaging Centre, Iris Imaging Center, and Cerba Lancet Uganda. Each facility entry includes details on what they are best known for, such as radiology, internal medicine, or ophthalmology, allowing patients to plan their care directly.

Users can add their insurance cover to see which facilities accept it and how much a member typically saves per scan when going in-network. The site currently shows acceptance details for major insurers like Prudential and AAR Healthcare, with specific numbers of verified facilities for each.

The platform offers a range of popular scans including MRI, CT, pregnancy scans, and ultrasound. Users can browse these services to compare costs across different facilities, with prices checked and dated to ensure accuracy before booking.

CareCompass provides a medical glossary, health guides, and calculators for sick leave, BMI, and ovulation/period tracking. These resources are designed to help patients understand their health needs and manage administrative aspects like leave calculations.

The platform displays prices with specific dates to ensure they are current, noting that prices change and should be confirmed with the facility before travel. This approach aims to prevent patients from being surprised by cost variations at the time of service.
