(5,113 posts)37. a coupl eyears ago i had a colonoscopy scheduled
2 days before my appt.i got a message from the place i was having it dont that they had NO anesthesiologists in my network even though the facility was. i had a choice.cancel or pay a couple thousand out of pocket. at least they told me in advance.
as far as im concerned if the facility is in network all docs at teh facility should be in network too.
