on a number of factors: whether you're a new patient, what your complaint is, what location you'll be seen at, type of procedure (if needed), and the location of that.

Also, with mega-hospital corps buying up small practices, it's hard to tell if "shopping" is even worth it (to those that have the time to spend calling around).

High deductible plans (and they all seem to be high-deductible now) don't motivate me to shop around, they motivate me to not get care. Period.
