People don’t know what, or who, to ask. I have declined treatment until I knew what I would pay for it. I’m looking at you, you Anesthesiologists.

- toomuchtodo 9y agoWhen my wife needed an emergency C-section, I couldn’t schedule a conversation with the chargemaster to price shop. I just assumed I’d either negotiate once the bill came in the mail or file for bankruptcy, depending on the total amount due.

In emergency situations where you would be willing to pay almost anything there's really nothing you can do. I don't think such situations are a majority of medical care though. In all the other, nonemergency situations, it should be way easier to price shop, and obvious before-the-fact what your insurance provider will agree to cover.
