<prompt> Human: I went to see a therapist which I found on my health insurance companys website of listed providers.My therapist didnt know what my copay was at the time, she told me she looked into my credentials and said it was 20. I stopped seeing this therapist because my schedule for work changed, plus I didnt find her to be a good fit. About a month and a half has gone by since seeing her, and she sent me an email yesterday saying that because she was an out of network provider I owe her 700.If she was an out of network provider in the first place, shouldnt she have told me in the first place? This seems a bit unprofessional to me.EDIT: Wow this has gained a lot of traction! I tend to keep matters like this factual and to the point but here is some additional info:- My therapist is blind, she has an assistant doing her billing. However this doesnt really explain the lack of communication. Someone could have notified me of this five months ago.- I actually see a new therapist in the same building, in the room next door who takes my insurance in network. I will be mentioning it to this new therapistshe also is a better fit.- I DO have a deductible that can go towards this 700, but this is really about the principal of the matter.- At the end of my treatment, she wrote me a check for 80 because I overpaid in copaymentsthe irony!. Now she wants more moolah.- I have email correspondence for everything.- I also have an entire PDF of therapists who are under my plan, she is listed as one of them.- As for my anxiety? Well Im just dealing with this in the moment, new therapist made better suggestions about dealing with stress.  <response>: I work in medical billing and unfortunately it is the patients responsibility to know if you are in network or not but I would call your insurance and ask them to reprocessing all your claims as in network because as per the website it says he is in network
