Required emergency hand surgery after my right hand became infected post a dog bite. Was admitted to good Samaritan hospital which assured me that their doctors are all in network. After surgery on my hand by Arizona Center for hand surgery, Blue Cross Blue Shield paid the reasonable and customary amount due for such a procedure to the doctor. Within weeks I received a bill for an additional $5000. Arizona Center for hand surgery stated they were out of network. This was an emergency situation and I was assured these doctors were in network. I have battled with them for over two years and the case is still not settled. Avoid having any doctors from the Arizona Center for hand surgery perform procedures. They do not accept health insurance guidelines regarding the reasonable and customary cost for such procedures. In fact, they do not accept health insurances at all!
Beware of Arizona Center for hand surgery!!
