The issue of receiving unexpected out-of-network medical bills can have serious consequences for patients, who may be burdened with unexpected medical bills that can add up to thousands of dollars. Patients may feel helpless and frustrated, believing that they have done everything right by visiting an in-network hospital, only to find themselves facing exorbitant costs for services they assumed were covered by their insurance.
The problem originates from the fact that hospitals are often classified as in-network, but many of the medical specialists and providers working within them are not. Insurance companies negotiate rates with hospitals, but they don’t always have contracts with individual medical professionals who work in the facility. As a result, patients can receive unexpected out-of-network bills for services they assumed would be covered under their in-network plan, causing confusion and financial distress.
