Hey everyone, I've tried reading through some posts here but couldn't find one with my specific issue.
My first son was just born before the new year! We got two letters from insurance. My wife got a letter saying her OB and location where approved and in-network. The hospital was listed as Hendricks Regional Health (the over arching organization). My letter was for the baby as it said the NICU pediatrician was out of network (I've read about how to fight this) but the hospital was called Hendricks Regional Hospital and was out of network. My wife and baby were treated at the same hospital.
We have anthem and they offered us a social worker to help us go through bills but I want to c educated when we talk. What options do I have with the different labeling of the hospital?
Thanks in advanced for any advice everyone!
Edit 1: I think I found it. Anthem and my health group have been fighting about mini hospitals. They recently drew a line in the sand and said mini hospital near me was out of network but the main facility is still IN. We were at the main facility, so it had to be a mistake in coding.
The hospital is on my call list along with insurance. Anthem said theyd give us a social worker to help with this stuff so here is to hoping they are actually a patient advocate!
