What do in-network and out-of-network mean for treatment?
In-network means a provider has a contract with your insurer, which usually means a lower share of the cost falls to you. Out-of-network means there's no contract, though many plans still cover part of out-of-network treatment. The clearest way to know how your specific plan applies is to have admissions verify it with you. Coverage check happens on the call.
