My friend had a bad asthma incident recently, went to an urgent care, and got referred to a hospital because they were at capacity. I wonder if that would count as an emergency.
- meowster 5y agoEdit: misunderstood, cannot delete. Sorry.
- Spartan-S63 5y agoRight, but the original commenter said their friend was referred to a hospital, probably an ER. So, the question remains whether they would be hit by this policy, too.
- Robotbeat 5y agoRight, but the UC facility referred him to the hospital, i.e. the ER, because they were full.
- majormajor 5y agoThat's not the question in the post you're replying to. The question is "would the insurance company consider it an emergency because the Urgent Care facility was full and told the patient to go to the ER even if the final discharge condition was classified as a 'non-emergency'?
