out-of-network
Outside insurance plan
Out-of-network describes healthcare providers or facilities that don't have a contract with a patient's insurance plan.
Seeing an out-of-network doctor typically means higher costs—insurance covers less or nothing, and the provider can charge more than contracted rates.
The surgeon was out-of-network, so we paid thousands extra.
The opposite is in-network.
