Allgemeines Diskussions-Forum » Pain mgmt clinics vs. hospital affiliation

I had to have 1 consultation visit and then I had 2 nerve block shots in my SI joint to verify that my pain was being caused by my herniated disc rather than the joint. It was obvious to me after the first one that SI wasn't the problem, but they tell you to do 2 to be sure. Abut a week ago, I got a bill from this hospital for $93, and I thought fine, I knew it would cost. Then this Saturday, I get a bill from the pain management clinic for $945, saying my service was out of network! Looking closer at my Healthcare claims, I realized that not only was I being billed from the hospital for anathaesia, x-ray, and use of space, I was getting charged separately from this clinic, that my health insurance says it doesn't cover, even though they told me my insurance was accepted. I'm at my wit's end here, because these charges are only for the first shot, I will be charged these same amounts for the 2nd one, too! I also saw that there was a denied claim for my 1st office visit for $695, which they haven't billed me for yet. If they knew after the claim for my consultation had been denied, shouldn't the clinic have said something before continuing these services they knew would not be covered? Has anyone else run into this situation? I'm now going to be over 2 grand in the hole for something I didn't end up needing, I haven't even gotten any surgery bills yet! Daily panic attacks!


I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
