Usually, insurance companies will cover emergency visits. Again, it's dependent upon the reason for your presence in the emergency room. Many insurance companies, if not all, will actually review the circumstances of your visit, view the medical records made during that visit, and if they are of the belief that it's fruitless or unnecessary, they will not cover it. If they believe that it was proper, they surely will cover the cost.
