Here in the Netherlands every medical procedure has a standardized declaration code. On the site of the NZa (Netherlands Healthcare Authority) you can check the current and historical cost of a procedure for each hospital. For example go to http://dbc-tarieven.nza.nl/Nzatarieven/zoekSnel.do http://dbc-tarieven.nza.nl/Nzatarieven/zoekSnel.do and fill in declaration code 085090, the code for a MRI. The NZa determines a maximum tariff for many procedures. For other procedures the cost is negotiable between healthcare insurers and providers.
