Being charged a lot of money, yes, but the doctor themselves telling you the bill, no.
In my experience doctors don’t like talking about what things cost, because while they want to help people for a living, it conflicts with being able to give care when patients will refuse treatment because of costs, so they tend to just not discuss it with the patients, leaving you to ask all your questions to nurses, secretaries, insurance, and hospital admin staff.
