<prompt> Human: Hey everyone,as the title states my wife was having severe stomach pain and went to the local emergency services center National Medical processionals is who runs the place FYI not emergency room at a hospital The first thing she did was have them look at our insurance policy and make 100 sure everything would be covered. After reviewing the policy the Dr. who was attending told her that yes everything was in network and would be covered by our blue cross insurance policy.Fast forward about 2 weeks, we receive a check from our insurance policy for about 9100 to give to the emergency services place for her care.I delivered the check and everything seemed fine until yesterday we received a bill from National Medical Professionals stating that because our insurance didnt cover the physician eval we owed them about 2500.Today we called our insurance provider, Blue crossshield, and asked for the break down and what we were told is that the 9k check was for the facilities and the services provided but the 2500 was not paid by insurance because though the facility was in network the Dr. was not.Does the community have any advice, have we missed something we should try, or is this just lesson learned and we have to bite the 2500 bullet on this one?Thanks everyone! Also my wife is fine and in great health. :  <response>: Call your insurance company again. If the hospital is in network, it doesnt usually matter if the practitioner isnt in network, especially for an ER visit where you dont have the time or inclination to be picky on which doctor you see. Depends on your carrier, though. Source: had this happen with the radiologists bill when my son broke his arm a couple years ago. Called our insurer, said what the hell?, and they treated the bill as though the provider was in network considering we went in through the ER.
