You may have some recourse with the insurance company because for emergency care that leads to an admission, the hospital being in-network is supposed to be what counts. Individual doctors being out-of-network should only come into play if you have a procedure done at their practice's office. I sincerely hope it works out for you. It might not hurt to get a 1-hr consult with a lawyer and send the insurance company a nasty letter?

Also, if you read your insurer's fine print, you'll find that they will only pay out-of-network providers to some limit that they and the provider agreed to. Even in an emergency situation, you will foot the bill for the delta.
