I’ve had similar experiences when I went for a checkup for the first time with my own insurance. I’ve been so used to knowing the prices beforehand through my young and feeble life, but everything about my initial visits felt abnormal. I’m here to pay for a service, but why aren’t they telling me anything about price? I’m aware of my copay but what about the original price? Okay, I should probably get an x-ray. Why the hell aren’t you mentioning the costs? I mean, I don’t have to get it either. I always feel so helpless whenever I go as if my decisions are more or less made for me. Transparency will not only help me decide, but give me options that weren’t visible in the first place.
