Very helpful comment and info. This is one way to take control and solve the overcharging problem. So people can see it, here is the form:

NOTICE
Dear Healthcare provider,

As a condition of my accepting any medical exam, treatment or service approval of all charges must be obtained from me in writing prior to commitment. Any charges not approved by me prior to commitment will not be payable. This notice is binding. Service may not be denied on the basis of this request. This is not a dictate of the services and methods used or applied by you or your facility, it is a requirement that I be informed of all costs prior to commitment and to be allowed control of the costs and obligations that may be demanded of me. Notice to agent is notice to principal, notice to principal is notice to agent.

Thank you,
