When situations such as this came up, almost invariably the insurance company would pay the ER doctor's bill (or radiologist's bill, or anesthesiologist's bill etc.) at the in-network rate if I just called them and explained that the service took place at an in-network facility and that the patient had no control over what ER doc etc. was involved. But I did need to make that call.
