HMO ins. co told me I could take my child to PCP (primary care physician) that is not in their network (none in our area). Ins. co said we just pay $10.00 above co-pay.
We went to this doctor many times, ins. paid this dr. each time. We paid the $10.00 each time. This dr. referred my child to go to hospital.
Now ins. is not wanting to pay for this hospital bill cause doctor who referred this is not in their network.
I talked to ins. and they said they should have never paid these dr. bills and that is was their mistake, so I wouldn’t have to pay the hospital bill and that they will.
Now the ins. co is saying they don’t have record of that person telling me that.
And they said they never told me I could use out of network dr. so now they are not paying the hosp bill.
There is a person from ins.. co who is working with hospital. I called ins. co. to talk to this person. Ins. said there is no record of this person corresponding with the hosp..
HELP!!!
question to everyone here- isn’t the ins. co violating their own policy by telling me I CAN go to a dr. out of network, and then they paid for this dr?
Can’t I file an appeal or complaint because of this? It just don’t seem right that they can do this wrong, but then I still have to pay the hosp bill.
TO SCORPIO9, HOSP TOLD ME THAT INS DID PAY, DOES INS HAVE TO SEND ME DOCUMENTATION PROVING THEY DID PAY? I DON’T WANT TO TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT….
