I am very strongly with you here. Why can’t we get an exact cost upfront before Abby services are rendered? A doctor can make orders and should be able to get the exact cost to you before submitting them.
These prices should all be public and comparable. Common reasons to go to the doctor should be shown alongside their costs.
We got a surprise $19k bill that we were told would be $160 and our insurance would cover the rest. We’re letting them fight it out but would be very disappointed if we had to pay that out of pocket. We would never have ordered the test then, or would have tried to shop around
