Yes! I was trying to forecast how much I would pay for prenatal service. I was told I needed to 1) call the doctor and get procedure codes for each visit 2) call the billing department, give them the codes, and find out how much I would get charged 3) call the insurance company to find out how much they'd cover. The doctor would charge different rates for the same procedures to different insurances and insurances would have different reimbursements. I believe lab work would have to be done in addition to that. It would be a huge amount of work to compare insurance plans or doctors. Even chasing everything down after the fact requires hours on the phone.
