Well, not all healthcare procedures are emergency. If I need something done, especially that which requires many separately-billable groups, the final cost can be extensive. Right now, it's very difficult to even estimate this cost in some cases. Using that data, timing can be better planned and in some cases, compared around for other similar options. The lack of transparency in pricing until you receive the bill is a big deal, in my opinion.
