because the cost is determined by the insurance company, not the service provider.

different patience get different costs based on their insurance. costs are wildly different depending on the location, the provider, etc. a mri at one hospital can cost your $500, at another a mile away it can be $5000.

there really isn't 'flat pricing' in medical care. pricing is basically negotiated for each patient at the time of the procedure, and often retroactively changed.
