When I was pregnant, I called the pediatrician's office and asked if they accept my insurance, and they told me that they do. I met the pediatrician a month later, and then a month after that my son was born (November 25). The pediatrician came and looked at my son when he was born, and then after about 4 doctor's visits, I learned that my health insurance company is not part of their network, leaving me with a $300 bill. I called the doctor's office and told them that I would accept responsibility for that bill, but that I would need to find a new doctor that does accept my insurance. She told me that she would try to become part of the network, and not to worry about paying anything. The baby has seen the doctor several times since then, and every time I bring him to the doctor, she just says "they haven't gotten back to me yet". Now I am getting a bill from the doctor saying I owe them $1000. I intend to get a new doctor for my son, but should I be forced to pay that bill?
