If your car needs new brakes, you ask the mechanic how much it's going to cost. If you're hiring someone to mow your lawn, you agree on the fee in advance. So why is healthcare any different? 3TV's Heidi Goitia explored these questions with David Berg, co-founder of Redirect Health.

Dr. Berg shared with Heidi the best hacks for securing the best price at the pharmacy - and for reducing healthcare costs across the board. Watch the segment to learn more.
