I believe they count what it would have been in-network.

As for saying you should have driven hours with bleeding you couldn't stop--do you have any sort of appeal process? That certainly doesn't sound right.

It's pretty common for providers not to cover anything except ER visits, out of your home state. And that only because (I think) they're required to. And I bet they interpret that as narrowly as possible ("heart attack, went to the ER, but then moved to a bed in a normal room? We'll cover the ER care but not the room or any care that took place there, have fun with bankruptcy").

An urgent care might not count.
