For dental and other things, you talk about it Before you have the procedure done.

I guess the same things that the Big insurance companies do in the back end...
My GF works at a dentists office and is going to school to be a dentists. When come into their office without insurance they look at you, determine your problem then give you a paper that shows your treatment options and how much each one is.

Often times with dental work you have a few different options, but at least you know up front exactly what it will cost. The sad part is that some people end up just having teeth pulled out because they can't afford the root canal and cap.
