No doubt! But it's the private practices as well. My wife can't even get a straight answer on what a procedure costs from specialists BEFORE WE GO. She'll even try to get the billing codes and the staff won't know which code a Dr will use or the insurance company can't give a straight answer depending on how the code is used.

Capping malpractice/liability to actual damages would help (lost income/earnings). Requiring up front payment would help. Preventing insurers from price fixing with providers would help (single price, how you pay is your business).
Luckily, I was able to transfer over to the other doc, but they're not taking new patients unless one leaves or dies.

I have never actually seen the other doc except in passing in the hall once. I always see one of the many PA he staffs.
