Touchdown! Greaser!
So then you actually didn't know what it was going to cost in advance.I knew what the price was for a colonoscopy before I had one. In fact I had to pull out my credit card and pay for my share in advance. Surprisingly I got an unexpected refund a few months later. I think it was because it was considered a routine screening which was completely covered under insurance and not subject to the deductible.
The point of my post though was that I would hate to be in the position of having to shop cost for a complicated medical procedure. How would I know whether I was getting what I paid for, or getting ripped off. I would rather pay more for a higher quality service, but if all I have to go on is a price sheet, how can I tell costly quality from expensive shoddy.
