The patient shouldn't have to call the insurance provider to see where it is accepted. This is adding to the problem. Do you have insurance, yes or no? Should be a good he only question not add-ons like, what provider, etc. It's stupid as hell that certain doctors are in network at a hospital while others are out of network, at the same damn facility. Ask me how I know this. American Healthcare insurance and billing is beyond messed up and needs to be fixed.
- conanbatt 8y ago> The patient shouldn't have to call the insurance provider to see where it is accepted But this is actually the one that provides the service. You dont call the music band to ask about the prices ticketek charges. You should and can ask about the price without insurance and you might get an answer (though you wont like it).

- PenguinCoder 8y agoSee other comments in this thread about where that question gets you. My experience has not been any different. IE, the answer ranges from "I can't tell you until the procedure is done", to exorbitant quotes. Of course I don't like those answers, who does?
- conanbatt 8y agoYou can find someone that knows the prices. Small practices will know, and in hospitals I'd try someone from staff, not doctors because they are overworked with patient loads and are shielded from the admin burden. What makes the expectation unreasonable is when you don't know what you will need. Surgery is a great example of that: what if there is a complication? What if a specialist is required, etc etc.
