HEALTH CARE "OUT OF NETWORK," A RECURRING PROBLEM
A common reason insurance companies sometimes will not pay claims is because
medical care was received "out-of-network." A network is a group of health
care providers and facilities that have contracted with the insurance
company to provide services at a fixed rate. By contracting for a fixed rate
ahead of time, insurance companies can keep the cost of medical care down
and thus keep monthly premiums lower. When we apply for a PPO health plan,
we are agreeing to rates based on contracts established between the health
care providers and insurance company. That is why companies insist you go to
providers within their network.
It is essential that you always call your insurance company to make sure the
facility or provider you are using is in their network. Remember, too, that
sometimes your doctor's office will say your doctor is contracted when in
fact he is not. Always check with your insurance company and your Provider
Directory, which you can find on the internet, before getting medical help.
