In-Network vs. Out-of-Network
According to Texas Guidelines, all insurance carriers are required to pay in-network benefits for any member seeking emergency medical treatment. Texas law requires that your insurance carrier pays for your emergency care, whether the emergency room is in-network or out-of-network. The state of Texas empowers you to use a prudent layperson standard when considering what constitutes an emergency.
If your insurance company refuses payment for your emergency room visit, you can file a grievance with the Texas Department of Insurance. To learn more about the Texas Department of Insurance, please visit www.tdi.state.tx.us.
Life Savers ERs billing policy is to always honor the in-network fee for services provided. This ensures you do not end up with a bill for your emergency room visit that your insurance company refuses to cover.
