My question to the OT is have you ever had anything like this happen

Something similar happened to me a few years ago with United Health Care. I got really sick over the weekend and needed to see a doctor. I called United Health Care and was told that Lake After Hours was in network and that I would be covered. They failed to tell me that, although the clinic itself is in network, not all doctors who work there are in network. I didn't realize this at the time, but I got a $1200 bill in the mail a few weeks later. When I called them about it I was told that I should have called back to verify whether the doctor was in network. I bitched, but they wouldn't do anything about it. I dropped them and I'm now on my wife's BCBS plan
