This is a significant issue for physicians. Insurance company “A” signs a contract with Hospital “X” as the network provider, at a reasonable rate…..then offers the physicians there an unacceptable contract. So, the physicians don’t sign, and when patients show up with emergencies, they are understandably frustrated. The physician then spends 6-12 months trying to get paid, and the patient ends up often in collections. Insurance companies need to make it clear that not all physicians at a “network” facility may be network providers.
