Phoenix Children's Medical Group Ripped off at the hospital Phoenix Arizona

On my way to Phoenix Children's Hospital I called and asked if the hospital was a preferred provider for Blue Cross and Blue Shield Insurance and was told yes. However during our son's hospitalization unbeknownst and unauthorized by us his parents. Our son was seen and treated by numerous doctors who were out of our network and non-participating providers. We were shocked when the bills started pouring in. What should have cost us a co-payment and a 10-25% co-pay ended up costing us much more with all the out of network charges.

I think it is ridiculous that the hospital allows doctors to practice under the guise that “we (Phoenix Children's Hospital) accepts Blue Cross and Blue Shield) but our doctors do not! I think is unreasonable that these doctors will not plan allowances as reasonable charges. The worst of these doctors was Phoenix Children's Medical Group. I spoke with the doctors billing department who would not budge on the unreasonable billed amounts.
