Why is it ok for a doctor to perform anything without a QUOTE on how much it’s going to cost?
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but why do doctors, surgeons, dentists etc. perform any procedure without giving an estimate on the cost? How is that ok?
For example, if you take your car in for service, the mechanic with give you a quote/estimate BEFORE any work is done. Why do doctors perform anything without telling you what the total cost would be and what/if medical insurance will cover any of it? I know they can discuss with insurance before hand. I’ve seen them call and talk to insurance before.
So many people end up in crazy debt from surprise bills. This just seems horribly wrong…
This is the U.S. btw…in case it wasn’t obvious lol
