I had to go to Hancock Regional Hospital Emergency Room. They did not explain that this physician group did not accept Aetna or United Healthcare insurances; therefore I would be liable for the entire physician bill of $544.00. Thjis charge was for the physician to dilate my eye and prescribe antibiotic eyedrops. My insurance company said the normal charge is $297.00 for this service but the ER physician group did not have a contract with the above insurance companies. Therefore the Indiana Physician Management - Hancock could charge us the full payment. They would not negotiate the price. Even though Hancock Regional Hospital is in those insurance company networks, the Hancock ER Physicians are not. Not having a contract with two major insurance companies is questionable and a deceptive business practice. If you have an emergency you literally have no choice of an alternate doctor. I don't know any other medical company that has this level of deceit and uninformed customer charges.
