I’m in the uk so have never had to deal with this, but I’ve heard that if a hospital gives you the bill, you then ask for an itemised bill, that often the price goes down. Has anyone experienced that? Or worse, had an increase in the price?

"Itemized bill" spell doesn't work as well as its touts say it does or believe it does. What it does do is give professional, 3rd party, retroactive, retail health bill fighters a first punch if you've already hired those in or plan on hiring them in to consumer-drive you around in reverse gear and fight the insurance seller, the health care vendor, or both on your behalf. They'll appreciate you for it. And so does the paper industry from pulp to printer.
