I doubt UpToDate makes their bones off individual subscriptions. The real money to keep a company afloat is from b2b enterprise contracts.
How can I be sure what you're selling me is in fact what you say it is? And if it's not, what recourse do I have?
If I buy something directly from another person on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, I'm not going to pay full retail price, even if the item is unused, because I'm giving up any form of recourse if the item is defective that I would have received had I purchased directly from the manufacturer.
We are looking for someone to come in and ‘own’ QA. We have a very complex application that manages the rules around how a hospital compensates their physicians. Fortunately our application is extremely stable and we’ve rarely had issues. This position’s objective is to implement QA processes to help us scale most effectively.

I could see this being a viable alternative, but it appears to be missing a key feature for us, analytics. As an B2B SaaS app, we have support SLAs that mandate specific response times. HelpScout makes it easy for us to report response times. We can also tag support themes to help focus product development; being able to see metrics around theme frequency is very important.
Analytics also tell us which Knowledge Base articles are most popular as well as phrases users search so we can be sure we surface the correct article.
I bet if you logged into your health insurance portal you'd find a cost transparency tool that could give you a reasonable estimate of what a common procedure would cost.
The unfortunate truth is price doesn't really matter.
1 - Insurers have negotiated rates with providers. They don't want that information shared.
2 - There aren't that many "shoppable" procedures. Shoppable = you're going to make a conscious decision to find the best possible price. Most common were major, non-emergency surgeries like hip or knee replacements or small stuff like imaging. Once you're in the actual care "flow", its highly unlikely to tell the doctor "how much will that MRI cost me? Let me check this app to drive across town and save $20."
3 - For all the talk about consumer demand for cost transparency, Cost is low on the list when it comes to determining if/where to get care. Quality, Availability (accepting new patients, how soon can they see me), Word of Mouth (friend/family recommended), matter more. Largely because....
4 - After a certain point (i.e. once I've hit my deductible) consumers don't care about cost as long as they're in-network.

Whether the contract was time & materials (preferred) or fixed bid, that 25% rule worked well as an early indicator that the project was likely to go over budget. It allowed us to have early conversations with the client about cutting scope or expanding the budget to cover the unknown complexity.
We'd also dramatically increase our rate to reduce our risk on fixed price projects.

GORUCK events range in duration and distance (4-5 hours / 7-10 miles for Light, 10-12 hours / 15-20 miles for Tough, 24+ hours / 40+ miles for Heavy).
> Based on Special Forces training, your class is led from start to finish by a Special Forces Cadre. His job is to test your limits, push you beyond them, and build your class into a team. There are no cash prizes at the finish. All you earn is a 2x3 inch patch and the respect of everyone to your left and right.
I've done 2 GORUCK events (1 Light, 1 Tough). They rank among the most challenging physical and mental experiences in my life. I enjoy testing my limits as well as the comradery of collective suffering amongst the rest of the team as you work together towards a common objective or goal. It has been a great way to meet new friends; I'm planning my 2018 event calendar now.
I recently picked up a GoRuck GR1 [0] -- it's an amazing bag for everyday use. They also sell weighted ruck plates that fit the rucks and keep the load close to your body.
