I have HMO, and I have to go the the doctor and hospital that they have on record for my site number, etc.....even if a place takes HMO, i can't go there if it isn't my site number. But if I had an emergency and called 911, the ambulance takes people to a hospital that doesn't even accept HMOs.....if i have a real emergency, I'm gonna call 911, not find a way to get to the other hospital....how does this work - does that mean I HAVE to pay everything out of pocket - is there no way around this??? I am pregnant and labor very fast, if i don't make it to my hospital, 911 would take me there and I can NOT afford birth....god forbid if i needed a c-section.....out of pocket - but i HAVE insurance - they should pay something, right?
