Have you read the Brill article? He is pretty upfront in saying the hospitals would not talk about their chargemasters, the standard response was 'nobody actually pays that number'. Brill said the actual response should have been those with insurance don't 'pay that number'. The Brill article also discussed 'fighting the chargemaster', in one case the patient hired a representative skilled in negotiating this stuff to fight with the system. In the end some charges were reduced but the hospital sued the patient and the judge required her to pay, something like 20 bucks a week for a decade or more. Point is, do you really want to fight with the system when recovering from a serious surgery? If done on an emergency basis you don't have time to plan or do any of the stuff you mention. The system sucks IMO...
