There are a few key phrases, online tools, and strategies that are key to unlocking this intentionally opaque industry—so we're going to cover it all today. In a marketplace where some hospitals charge 30x their costs and the insurance company “discounts” do little to help, taking matters into your own hands is often your best bet.
