I think yes. Public pricing effects those who have not yet decided to use your services. Prescription prices effect those who have at least temporarily committed to your services. Treatment prices are public (people ask about cost when they select a clinician). Prescription prices would be lest frequently questioned because fewer naive patients know that there are secondary costs. Many services use secondary costs as the real profit centers -- whether as scams or as legitimate sales following loss- leaders and incentive prices.
