I had the unfortunate experience of having to use the emergency medical facilities. LGH is listed as an in-network provider with my insurance company and I have used other LGH services and facilities many times. Afterwards, I received a LARGE bill one that should have been covered by my insurance. When I called my insurance company, I was told that it was because the doctor was not an in-network provider. This information was never relayed to me. When I called LGH billing, they said they have no control over how individual doctors bill. I told them I think this is consumer fraud! The consumer assumes that because the entity is listed as an in-network partner, that everyone under that umbrella is too. I told her if I had known otherwise, I would have made a different choice. They absolutely should disclose UP FRONT that the treatment you receive may not be covered even if LGH is listed as a participating partner. THEY DONT! So... if you go to LGH, to make sure you are covered, you should ask each person touching you if they are an in-network provider. SHAME ON YOU LGH!
