Never seen that situation (none / 0) (#74)

I've seen a lot of insurer-provider contracts, but never one that designated some locations of a provider (under the same contract) as in-network and some as out-of-network. The provider has the incentive to demand in-network status if it's going to give the discounted rates to the insurer.

But since your last sentence refers to the premiums paid by a hospital's employees to the insurance company (rather than the discounts negotiated between the insurer and the provider) maybe we are talking about two different things.
