      The newest story in my ER billing series: He went to an in-network emergency room. He still ended up with a $7,924 bill. Diving into the high frequency of out-of-network billing at in-network ERs.https://www.vox.com/2018/5/23/17353284/emergency-room-doctor-out-of-network …

      Com’on Sarah- this is not an ER issue- oral surgeons are not employed by the ER- this is an “out of network surgeon issue”- please write better headlines that don’t deceive readers

      It's an ER issue because these out-of-network surgeons are working at in-network ERs.

          The surgeon works in the hospital. Not the ER. Surgeries take place in the OR. Different site.

          Fair enough, but I think from the patient perspective this looks pretty different. The surgeon comes into the ER, consults with the patient there. He is working in and seeing patients in the ER.

          If anything this illustrates the difficulty in maintaining an ER call roster. Most oral surgeons work out of offices/surgicenters. They don’t have to (and many don’t!) take ER call. Same applies to ENT, Optho, Plastics, many other specialties 1/x

          Many hospitals frequently have big gaps in their call roster, and this is one of the reasons: they have to deal w insurance nonpayment (in addition to many other hassles).

          So it’s a “hospital employs out-of-network surgeons” issue, then.

          You could have fixed the headline by adding on “from the oral surgeon”
