Well, if you took your wife to the emergency room where I went, and you had BCBS, you'd end up
having a bill to pay. Every doctor who works in the ER, is in this doctors' group. So for BCBS patients, there is no alternative than to seek another hospital where ER doctors accept BCBS. There might be an insurance plan that the ER doctors group accepts, but BCBS isn't one of them. The non-acceptance of BCBS affects a wide swath of patients, because it's the biggest insurer of NC patients.
