2 weeks ago my wife and baby got sick with sinus and ear infection. Called a pediatrician (we don't usually go in for anything) They asked me what kind of insurance I had and to send in pictures of my insurance card. I did all of this and they said I was good to go with the appointment that day.

Today I got a text from the doctors office: "Your family was seen and your insurance denied the claim as we are out of network. There is a balance of $750 ."

Why couldn't they tell me the insurance was out of network when I sent in my insurance info before the appts? I don't really know how this stuff works but it's not right. $750 is a lot of money for us.. anything you think I can do? Thanks guys

Shit like this is what the clinic is for. Doctor is too busy? Go to the clinic.

Aside from that calling your insurance provider and checking if a place is in network prior to going can work. Some insurances have online portals to check if places are in network.

Now all that said and done it's a bunch of bullshit how much these fucks want to get paid.
