Basically, if there isn’t a qualified therapist in network, they can treat your out of network therapist as in network – and at least cover that much of the costs. This is particularly helpful if, say, your coverage is 80% in network but only 50% out of network. It can also affect deductibles and lifetime limitations.

I am researching all of the possibilities for appealing to my insurance company. I will add contacting state representatives to that list.

I had a situation where my insurance refused payment, and the hospital/Dr. bills were very high. My U.S. Representative has a person on staff to help people with medical bills and medical insurance. I still had to pay, but was able to have insurance pick up about 30% of the tab; the hospital bills were reduced by 50%. Unfortunately the doc still charged his full amount. And before you ask, no, I am not on welfare, etc. I have good insurance and am gainfully employed making a good salary. I just wanted a little help with outrageous medical expenses.
