Q: UnitedHealth will not pay my wife's hospital bill. They said hospital is out of network and will not pay claim
Took wife to lovelace ER was told she needed to be admitted.she was in hospital for 4 days. UnitedHealth says hospital is out of network will not pay claim
A: A New Mexico attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You probably already attempted resolution or negotiation with them. When it comes to ER or ambulance services, some carriers will show more leniency. But if you are at an impasse, which could be the case from your description that mentions carrier's refusal to pay, one option is to reach out to New Mexico attorneys to review the claim and policy to explore whether there could be a cost-effective solution and what your best options might be. Good luck
