I had a defibrillator implanted. I tried to find out the cost beforehand, in order to determine my co-pay. The doctor's office could not seem to tell me the 'codes', which the insurance company needed to get the 'costs'. So, I went ahead with the procedure and was SHOCKED to find out the list price (doctor, hospital, device, etc.) was $100K. My co-pay with good insurance fortunately was only $800. But, even though I was trying to do the right thing, I was not able to, because of not knowing the 'codes'.
