Web site will let providers bid on patient care

Seraphim Inc., a health care consulting firm in Kenosha, WI, has announced the launch of an Internet company and Web site that would allow health care providers to bid on patient care. The site, PatientWise, would allow patients to compare provider quality and cost for proposed treatments, officials say.

"All the care will be included in a single cost that the patient will be able to see immediately, in advance of committing to the care," says Bradley Engel, Seraphim president and CEO. More information is available at www.patientwise.net.
