Non-network doctor or non-covered service are two that come to mind that you could be balanced billed for. _________________ Can I say I’m working if I stare blankly at my computer all day?

What you must check is if what the doctor has billed is already paid for and if you have used the service he/she is billing you for. Physicians today, no longer want to wait for their fees, they want it upfront. _________________ AmPmInsure Blog	sil Community Writer Joined: 30 Sep 2005 Posts: 483 89.47 Dollars($)

When you opt for out-of-network services, balancing-billing is fair and legal. Only if you go for in-network services, your insurance company pays the full amount after the co-payment. Here again, the state laws on balance-billing are to be considered which vary from state to state.	Veronica Preferred member Joined: 01 Feb 2010 Posts: 191 33.01 Dollars($)
