[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a common problem where a doctor orders tests/MRI, etc... and has no idea if the patients insurance will cover it. In all fairness there’s no way a doctor can keep track of what medical tests/procedures will be covered simply because there’s just to many plans and limits to keep track of. On ANY non emergency test/procedure it’s the patients responsibility to make sure it’s covered or has a referral for it prior. On the positive side, I had an MRI last week and the cost was $4,000. Consider yourself lucky. Hopefully if you resubmit the bill with a doctors letter it’ll be approved. All insurance companies have a process to deal with this.[/quote] Doctors SHOULD be cost and resource conscious. They should not order invasive/expensive tests unless they know they are really necessary. [/quote]
