I had to be rushed to the hospital ER. I honesetly don't remember if we tried to call the insurance company or not, but I think so and couldn't reach anyone. A medical emergency is a medical emergency, so off we went. I was treated and fine and even went home (to our vacation spot) later that day, although my family vacation along with my dad's, was ruined due to the daily 2-hr round trip drives for outpatient treatment for the duration of my trip. <BR/><BR/>Bright and early Monday morning, I did get through to the insurance company and explained the situation. I was assured that everything would be fine and that despite being outside my network, everything would be taken care of AND that I had permission to continue with the prescribed treatments.<BR/><BR/>I returned from my vacation, saw the specialists I needed to in order to continue my treatment (all with the consent of my insurance company), and 6 weeks or so later started getting bills from every doctor I'd seen or who had walked through the hospital while I was there. <BR/><BR/>I immediately called my insurance company and was given that spiel about being outside the network and not calling first. Blah blah blah. Finally, I got some really sympathetic woman on the phone and she agreed that an emergency is an emergency and they covered everything.<BR/><BR/>The key was my persistence. I have faith you'll get the bad insurance company to see things your way. :)Little Merry Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260823112620938983noreply@blogger.com
