<prompt> Human: Last week I talked to my doctor about pain I was having in my leg and he advised me to get an ultra sound done to make sure I did not have a blood clot. He recommended I go to a hospital instead of a stand alone Radiology facility because the hospital would be cheaper, about 100-300 I have a high deductible plan so I have to pay for this out of pocket.Luckily I did not have a blood clot and it was just a varicose vein mixed with a strained muscle. However, I received my bill today and it was a bit more than 900. I looked it up and found out that it would have actually been 100-300 to have this done at a stand alone facility and my doctor had mixed the two up. I assume that I am stuck with this bill and a lesson learned, but do I have any recourse here? The hospital has already filed a claim against my insurance so I dont think I will be able to call and negotiate a lower bill, but any advice is appreciated. Thank you!  <response>: Two times I ask the price of something before I buy - restaurant specials the waiter mentions, and medical procedures.
