To expand on this, it's impossible to compare prices between providers when the illness is known because the total cost is often not known until you receive a bill.
- leepowers 10y agoAlso during an emergency situation you may be taken to an out-of-network hospital or be treated by an out-of-network doctor at a hospital, of which insurance may only cover 0%-50% of the bill. So you have no choice in provider, no choice in price, yet have 100% responsibility for paying.
