However, if your in-network doctor sends your bloodwork out to a lab that is not in-network, you're now paying a lot more.

Or (until recently), you go in for surgery where the surgeon is covered, but then get billed for an out-of-network doctor that consulted without anyone asking you.

One of the recent situations that I've heard about are nurse practitioners and doctors at your doctor's practice, contracted by your in-network doctor. The person who comes into the room to ask you what you're there about may not be in-network even though the ostensible doctor-in-charge is.

I haven't seen that lab issue. I suppose that could be an issue in specific circumstances.
