This reports the Consumer Authority & market (ACM) Friday.

The insurer has contracts with the various hospitals and using the excess charge the hospital costs directly to the insured. That is why health insurance companies the preferred party to advise their clients about current treatment costs and the effects on your own risk, for example through the website or by telephone.

The ACM is afraid of a disturbance of the market when hospitals disclose their rates. Hospitals that are still negotiating with health insurers can then tune their rates on the first hospital which was the first to publish the treatment costs, and thus the rates high.
