When I hear flawed data base used today on out of network charges, well it all seems to go back to the same one, but this article does not mention which flawed data base is in reference, so is it the same one that stuck everyone else with the Ingenix data base? Again the article doesn’t mention this but it sure has that familiar ring. A couple months ago there was a new lawsuit filed on behalf of the outpatient surgery centers relative to the same issue.
