Insureds With Bills For Care Provided In The Hospital By Doctors Who Are Not In The Plan's Network Or Whose Services Are Not Pre-Approved
Next » « Previous6/7
People in a managed care plan may be denied coverage for services provided in the hospital by doctors who were not in the company's plan and not pre-approved. If this happens to you, you have to deal with the insurance company rather than the hospital.
First determine whether the doctor actually provided some sort of healthcare. If you kept a log, it will be easy to find this out.
If the doctor did provide a healthcare service, call the phone number on the statement and ask if the doctor has an agreement with your insurance company.
- If so, call the insurance company and point out the error.
- If not, call the insurance company and explain that you were attended by the doctor while you were in the hospital and that you had no control over which doctors treated you.
- If a call doesn't work, consider using the insurance company's system to appeal. You do not need a lawyer to appeal.
