Out-of-Network Charges The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the contracted allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the contracted allowed amount, you may be responsible for the difference between the billed amount and plan contracted allowable amount.
Example: If an out-of-network hospital (facility) charges $1,500 for an overnight stay and the contracted allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference, which is called balance billing.
