The insurer doesn't know what each hospital charges. Posting costs online is just to make it more convenient to find the information. In the perfect world, everyone would sit down with the hospital, look at the likely range of costs of

I wish I had your optimism. Rule of thumb is that all informal agreements go out the window after an acquisition. Why would the board of McAfee care about a policy they didn't approve and aren't legally bound to?
