I don't quite understand the nature of the problem, but I'm more than 5 years away from facing it so I'll just wait and see. Meanwhile, Congress is playing Russian Roulette right now with Medicare fees. If they don't pass a fix ASAP, reimbursements will be cut by 10.6% on July 1st, and doctors will be bailing out of Medicare nationwide!

i found they went by zip codes to determine customary fees. you can see fees range from large hospitals in philly to those along the main line and then those further out.. so if you get a doctor who is associated with the city but works out of two locations and charges center city prices you may find the insurance company come back and limit payment. it happened to me back in 80's. i laughed at them and told them they will pay me one way or another. i will take it the state attorney generals office if their complaint system doesn't satisfy me. i quickly got a reply back in a couple of weeks that charge had been accepted.
