Worse - you can get a bill in the mail later for some out of network doctor who looked at a chart without ever interacting with you, in addition to the hospitals charge.

My favorite is that the hospital will use the external consultation to charge more for the visit.

Recruitment fee for the out of network you didn’t ask for!
