Anesthesiologists are never in-network, it's usually the most expensive part of having surgery in the US.
Another major annoyance -- if you have surgery, the hospital usually gets their money from you right away. However, you're going to spend the next 18 months receiving random bills from various different firms representing nurses, doctors, lab technicians, etc. related to your procedure, many of which come down to "stuff we decided to do while you were unconscious."
- mguerville 7y agoThat has been exactly my experience with a very minor event a few years ago. The bills kept coming at random intervals for about 18 months, some for a few tens of dollars, one or two for hundreds, others for literally $0. I just had no visibility into it and honestly would only be half surprised if now, 8 years later, I received a bill for $17 for procedure AU8-QB-12 from department CO9-s4 (and the bill would mention that my insurance paid the other $872)
