I may have missed it but were any of the doctors who treated you during this recent visit out of network?
Not on this visit but on a previous visit to a surgery center last year I received a bill from an anesthesiologist who was out of network and the surgery center was in network. The customer service representative is the one who told me the doctors at the hospital go in and out of plans and that it is hard to keep track. I can't prove this, I just am quoting what she told me.
