I remember seeing Bill Gephardt run a special on the practice before. Put blame
on both the hospital and the insurance companies. In the case he covered, it was an emergency room visit for a potential heart attack. The hospital was in network but the ER doctor was not. Because it ended up being a "false alarm", insurance deemed it not a true emergency and refused to cover the out-of-network doctor.

I know it's common practice, but IMO there should really be some sort of regulations or policies against this practice. Make it so only doctors in the same networks as the facility can practice in that facility (or require insurance companies to cover all doctors that practice in an "in-network" facility).
