Quoted from TrevixClemson:The added cost is unfortunate. At least this time we have a lessons learned guide this go around.
So, with our first, it was an emergency C-section. Turns out the anesthesiologist on call was not "in-network" and we were too rushed to think about it or ask. We spent 2 years fighting charges of more than 10k just for that piece of the puzzle alone, despite it being an "emergency"...
I feel like all anesthesiologists are out of network. I had banner insurance, in a banner hospital. But he and his nurse assistant was still out of network. It's what they do so they can get paid more. My wife never dilated, and was 42.5 weeks. They had to do a c section. When the bill came due, insurance said the c section was an "elective procedure" so they didn't want to cover a lot of the costs. Health insurance is such a racket.
