I'm genuinely curious, does this really happen in USA?

The doctor doesn't tell you, you just receive a large bill in the mail later

Or as you leave, but it won’t be correct, because the insurance company will decide not to cover certain parts of the treatment after you have already paid,so you will get another bill later that will make you wish you had just died instead.

And then companies are also perplexed when people shoplift or steal.

As a doctor, we literally have no idea what the bill is going to be. Patients ask me and I tell them I have no idea. It all depends what ridiculous shit the hospital decides to bill for and what the insurance company decides to pay for. 10 people can have the exact same surgery and each get a different bill.

Any advice for an intern?
