High-Cost Bill Review: Out-of-Network Hospital Admission ​

Situation

A member experienced a mental health episode and was taken by ambulance to their local hospital. They were subsequently admitted to the hospital for over 3 days. Unfortunately, the hospital was out-of-network, and the member received an unexpected bill of $35,400.

Service Provided

The Emry team conducted a thorough bill review, determining that the hospital processed an internal pre-authorization for inpatient services and the member was not of sound mind to give approval. Emry ensured that the bill was reprocessed as in-network, subject to the remaining in-network deductible and coinsurance.

Savings

Thanks to Emry’s intervention, the member saved $33,000. This assistance not only alleviated the financial burden but also ensured that the member received necessary healthcare without additional financial stress.
