And yes, I'm still
Was I writing in a language other than English? Shands will NOT accept UHC MA. The do not participate in it, if they did they would NOT be out of network!!! And "out of network approval" has nothing to do with Shands, it is a decision made by the insurer as to whether or not they will pay them their asking price or reimburse you. What you are saying is that a patient can show up at Shands, no insurance, but with a boatload of cash , and they won't see him. Unlikely.
Perhaps DB has some insight on how this works from a hospital administrator's point of view.
