Medical insurance reimbursement is based on correctly filling out a coded form (there are like 10,000 or more codes covering every type of service), waiting for some human at the insurance company to agree and provide payment, or often a protected argument about coding and necessity. Until a month or more later the doctor has no idea what the insurance will actually provide. The final cost will be determined by how many services are performed, how many interactions with various people occurred, how many supplies or drugs were used, tests run or ordered, etc. When you walk in and say I feel bad, it could be nothing or you are dying. Guessing what is wrong before they even see you is impossible. Try estimating software development costs with no idea what is to be written. With software at least no one will die, and probably no one will sue if you are wrong.
