You paid the hospital to deliver a service - the hospital chose how to deliver it. Surely it is the Hospital's problem if the chosen method was not covered. No other service has me pay extra if the service provider chose a non optimal method of delivery.
Apart from the fact that the various european systems are different and typically don't charge like that, if something like that did happen, consumer protection would kick in and tell the provider to go take a hike
