Review of Dosher memorial hospital

I feel the service provided by the billing/pricing department has been unethical. I was informed my insurance would not cover a lung CT scan so I inquired about the cost with no insurance coverage. I was given a reasonable price and agreed to make an appointment. My experience with the technicians was wonderful. I received a bill in the mail for over 100% more than the price I was given. I called and was told the price I was given was an estimate. I was not originally informed the price was an estimate and I certainly wasn't informed the cost could be 100% more. I'm healthy with no family history of any cancer and the results were fine. I'm getting no response on what would have made the "estimate" double. My heart tells me there is an unethical billing practice at Dosher Hospital. Please beware.
