Out-of-Network Care

An out-of-network doctor has not agreed to those same pre-negotiated services, rates, and contracts on how to treat a patient. As a result, an out-of-network provider (since there is no contract) is free to actually practice wellness-based healthcare  and prescribe what he/she feels is in your best interest (what will actually help you) rather than being constrained to what insurance companies will pay for.

This is not to say that in-network providers do not have your best interests at heart—they do. But, because they have a contract in place with the insurance companies, they are limited to the scope of that contract for services and cost.

Patients will often refrain from care with out-of-network providers on  the assumption that the cost will be higher versus an in-network provider. However, seeking out an in-network doctor is not always the best choice for you to get the care that you need. Some patients on various high deductible plans (especially those that typically do not reach their deductible) may even see a cost savings depending on their individualized care plan.
