Abstract
The convergent validity and scale reliability of three measures of Reference Price (R-Price) were assessed for a "new" healthcare service using an adult sample. The Pearson correlation, Cronbach's alpha and Factor analysis results indicate that the multiple scale R-Price measure exhibits both reliability and convergent validity. As a result, the R-price scale could be used as an additional input for estimating demand of a healthcare service at a given price. The paper also draws some managerial implications for healthcare professionals.
