What is not being addressed is what about the patient’s exposure for claims dismissed by Cigna vs Humble Surgical Center. This facility and the referring physician did exactly what Cigna claimed in its lawsuits. The physician bullied me into using HSH for my back surgery, vs an in-network facility within one block of my house, by insisting that they had much more advanced devices and instruments and that the success of my surgery would be in question because of the “antiquated” instrumentation at the in-network facility. Of course I found out later that he had financial ownership interests at HSC (just as Cigna claimed), a facility almost 50 miles from my house. HSH did their part, just as Cigna claimed, by guaranteeing me I have been covered at 100% and would not be responsible for anything beyond if I used an in-network facility. This past week, 3.4 years later, I just received and intimidating, inaccurate, and relatively threatening letter from HSH that I must pay the entire $55,000 balance by August 1. Is there anyone else who has gone through this and can recommend my course of action in this case?
