We went to St Michael's Emergency room as my daughter was having an asthma attack. Told them upfront which insurance and they told us that they are just like a regular emergency room with deductable. The doctor was very good and got her treated. Two weeks later I recieved a $7600 bill because they are NOT in network and they can charge us all the costs over the insurance allowance. Not once did they let us know that they weren't on my insurance. After 9 months of going back and fourth they settled with us to pay the in network and drop the extra charges. It was a nightmare. Better to go to the hospital and wait.
