Default have you negotiated w/hospital b4 surgery?

The ole boy was playing golf with a retired insurance agent, who does NOT have supplemental insurance BECAUSE prior to hospital care (obviously NOT an emergency) he negotiates with hospital and doctor that they will accept Medicare for full payment of bill, if NOT he will take his business to another hospital and he reports that he has NEVER been turned down....Hmmmm!
Sounds scary to me! ...and wonder how you negotiate with a hospital when it is an emergency!
