Our local hospital tried to quote us for a routine fertility related procedure because we thought insurance wouldn't cover it. It took several hours on the phone before they figured it out. Day of the procedure they told us they forgot to factor something in and they gave us the wrong price.

They said it was fine though because insurance would actually cover it.

But they were wrong on that account too.

In comparison, the actual fertility clinic we went to was upfront and told us the price of everything ahead of time.

Everytime I've had to deal with a hospital the billing experience has been a nightmare. Fuck hospitals.
