Yeah I was able to get an estimate on the birth of my child, too. But then lawyers had to get involved between me and Banner Health a year later, over a bill from an anesthesiologist they said didn't exist, with contact information at which no one said I owed any money, that was never billed to my insurance company, for an epidural that ended up being done quite poorly. In the end it was considered to be my responsibility because of a paper my wife signed while in hard labor agreeing to pay the bill. Fuck the whole industry. That's not even my worst experience - just the most recent. I basically don't visit doctors or dentists anymore because the biggest health threat I see in my life is the massive surge of blood pressure I get at the mere mention of insurance companies.
