as if it were an in-network hospital. Don't know if I'm supposed to offer any input here, but I wanted to say that when Melissa went into the short-term mental health hospital several years ago, it was not in my in-network. I talked to the insurance people on the phone and explained it was the only one around that specialized in juveniles, and I got them to pay the bill as if it were in-network.
Same thing with the counselor she saw outpatient for a year. She was out of the network but worked mostly with juveniles and there wasn't anyone else close by, so the insurance co. allowed her to be considered in-network.
It doesn't hurt to ask.
