Had knee surgery in October at an in-network hospital with an in-network surgeon. Just got a bill for $4,200 from the anesthesiologist who was apparently out-of-network. Nobody told me this was even a...

So my wife had knee surgery back in July. We paid everything at the time - copays, the anesthesia bill, all of it. We thought we were done. Then last week out of nowhere we get a collections notice...
Had a routine outpatient procedure done in July. Surgeon was in-network, hospital was in-network, everything was pre-authorized. I specifically called my insurance before scheduling to confirm. They...
I want to share this because when I was in the middle of it I felt like giving up every week. My insurer denied coverage for an outpatient procedure my doctor ordered, claiming it wasn't "medically...
Long post but i hope this helps someone going through the same thing. My insurance denied a surgery my orthopedic surgeon said i needed for a torn meniscus. Said it was "not medically necessary" even...
I cant believe it actually worked! My medical claims claim got approved for the full amount today.What made the difference i think was having detailed photos with timestamps and getting three...
So i had an outpatient procedure done in January. My insurance said the facility was in-network, the surgeon was in-network, everything should be covered at 80/20 after deductible. I paid my portion...
I'm completely lost here and honestly kind of panicking. Back in November I had a knee surgery scheduled. Called my insurance, went through the whole pre-authorization process, got a confirmation...

Went to the ER, saw a doctor there, got treated and released. Insurance covered the hospital portion but denied the doctors charges saying it was out of network. How was i supposed to know the ER...
