VERY IMPORTANT TIPS
Procedures

Lab Work

Check your hospital bill
When you go to a hospital for a procedure (such as surgery or childbirth), you may receive services from hospital-based physicians that you are not aware you have received. For example, if you have an MRI, you typically will not meet the radiologist who interprets the results. For most patients with insurance, charges are often considered out-of-network for services provided by radiologists, anesthesiologists, pathologists and emergency physicians. Under all medical plan options, when you use an in-network hospital, Texas Health saves you money by covering hospital-based physician services as in-network. Because most plans do not offer this same advantage, these claims are often processed incorrectly. When you receive your explanation of benefits from your medical carrier, you should carefully check your hospital charges to be sure you are not being charged out-of-network rates for these services. If you believe your bill is inaccurate, call Texas Health Aetna and ask for a review of the claim.
