The doctor has no idea what anything costs
Edit: unless it’s a one of the admin slash doctors or a private practice
And, more to the point, is the last person that’s going to deign to spend their extremely overbooked (by the same admins) time directly communicating with patients about anything that’s not the literal bare minimum diagnosis / prognosis/ treatment plan.
Even private practice doctors don't usually know what they cost. At least, not the ones I go to. They know if something is really expensive, but that's about it.
