Yeah… it's been popular. But I confirmed this health system will bill out of network for it.

It's my understanding that even if you have a PPO the docs office or health system has to agree to bill for it. Not a guarantee they will see you. Is that correct?

yes that right and most will but it will be interesting to see if the out of network providers are going to made whole by Humana since there is no contract.
