In this Friday Dec. 18, 2009 photo, University of New Hampshire employee Laura Davie with her dog Harley in her office on campus in Durham, N.H. When Laura Davie's doctor suggested she go to the hospital next door for her first mammogram last year, she went online instead. Though she ultimately chose the facility her physician recommended, Davie used New Hampshire's HealthCost Web site to compare how much her insurer would pay various hospitals for the procedure. She found the Web site very user friendly when using it to compare various hospitals mamogram costs.
