A method and system for providing healthcare service appointment time and cost estimates at the time of scheduling whereby a healthcare services database is created that includes: data indicating standardized codes associated healthcare services; data indicating the average time associated with healthcare services; data indicating the average cost of the healthcare services. One or more screening questions to be asked a patient at the time of scheduling a healthcare service appointment are then generated that indicate which, if any, of the healthcare services in the healthcare services database may be needed by the patient at the healthcare services appointment. The data in the healthcare services database is then used to schedule a healthcare service appointment for the given patient having an allocated time based on the average appointment time associated with the needed healthcare service and, in one example, the patient is provided an estimate of the cost of the healthcare service appointment based on the average cost of the needed healthcare service appointment at the time the healthcare service appointment is scheduled.

A method and system for providing a healthcare expense donation network whereby a third party provided healthcare management system, such as a computing system or on-line implemented healthcare expense tacking and/or payment system provides a service through which a healthcare consumer can create a verified patient need profile indicating a need for help in paying their healthcare expenses and requesting donations to this end. At least part of the healthcare consumer's patient need profile data is verified, as well as any other financial and/or personal data associated with the submitted patient need profile that a potential donor, the patient, and/or the provider of the process for providing a healthcare expense donation network desires to be verified. Once the healthcare patient need profile data is verified, the verified patient need profile is made available to potential donors and the potential donors are provided the ability to securely make donations to the patient's healthcare expenses directly.
