results in what we have. Toss in the WORLD'S BEST technology and Bob's your uncle.
It is very complex, however, to SausageKing's orignal question: I don't know why they can't tell you. Each hospital I have been CEO of gave out our pricing and my current organization gives out our pricing. I want it that way. Yes some patients and their families get upset if the actual bill is different from the initial estimate, but I'd rather be cooperative then hiding behind the charge master pricing.
