No. Not all hospitals are willing to offer discounts. Sometimes, the cash price is higher than the insurance rate (which is negotiated). It's pretty hard to pull off an external company since many hospitals won't even tell you what their negotiated rates are (I have an HDHP where I'd think the point is to shop around, but can't because of the lack of price transparency). For what it is worth, goodrx.com is doing a variant of this with drugs.
