I could see it taking a little time to gather those costs.
I his procedure exotic? Do they have to chase down every sub-price for every single procedure? That doesn't sound practical.

The ultrasound might even vary in cost due to time. People don't understand that healthcare varies from patient to patient and they aren't building widgets. I don't disagree that healthcare costs have sky rocketed. Lot of it is due to government oversight and intervention. Lot of it is defensive medicine due to exorbitant trial awards in malpractice suits. Lot of is due to very expensive innovative medicine that the US has no rivals. Lots of goes into it. There might be a few scams out there as the OP suggested. We just had 10 or so go to jail locally over some scamming. But if you get caught scamming, you pay and you pay heavily.
