twenty percent of the bill
ADDED:
20% is simply a complete understanding and in most cases with out-of-network policies not true.
Check with your insurance company to find out your coverage. Coverage depends on the type of service (hospital, primary care, surgery, anesthesia, etc) and your own personal policy. The insurance payments will depend on out-of-network deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums and coinsurance AND what the patient has met towards all of them during the calendar year

Who do enrollees obtain services from within a network of physicians and hospitals who have contracted with an insurance company?
Generally, members of a health plan are free to choose the provider that they wish to use when the provider is within the network. Keep in mind that it is the medical provider who/that is furnishing the services--not the network. The network is a separate commercial entity with which the health plan contracts. Again, generally, an enrollee may go "out of network" in certain cases. This means that the health plan will pay for care despite the fact that the provider is not a member of the network. Often, the insurer will pay an "in-network" rate of reimbursement when there is no provider in the network who can provide the needed services--so the member has no alternative but to go out of network. The health plan will probably also provide that it will pay a lower rate of reimbursement if the member goes out of network by choice--when there is a network provider but the member opts not to use him.her.

How can you find a physician?

How does out of network get billed to the medical insurance policy holder?
Generally the provider will bill the insurance company just as an in-network provider will. Then the carrier will send an Explanation Of Benefits (EOB) to the policy holder just as they always do. What changes is how much they will pay and how much you will need to pay. Let's say a procedure is billed at $300 and the in-network price (negotiated rate) is $100. You would pay whatever your potion of the $100 negotiated rate you are responsible for and the carrier pays the balance. Say the carrier pays 80%. They pay $80, you pay $20 and the remaining $200 is discounted away. Out of network the carrier works on the same negotiated rate from their perspective but generally at a lower percentage, say 50%. So they would pay $50 and the remaining $250 is your to pay unless you can work out a discount directly with the provider.
