I think you guys are getting screwed. 1) unless this is the first time they've done it, they'll at least have a range and an explanation for the difference. 2

I think you guys are getting screwed. 1) unless this is the first time they've done it, they'll at least have a range and an explanation for the difference. 2) They're motivated to not tell you. By staying quiet, they prevent you from shopping around. They maintain the ability to decide charges rather than having to negotiate. Telling you only once you owe them is something other businesses would love. Is there a doc in the house who can give us their perspective? What's up with this pricing?
