Our entire health care system needs to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch.
Ran into that for a surgery also a couple of years ago. Thought everything was in-network but turns out the hospital contracts anesthesia services through a separate company, and they were out of network. Not sure how we would have possibly known that. To be fair, probably wouldn't have changed our minds about where we had the surgery, but did make it more expensive.
