Billing for an MRI
1
I had pain in my shoulder, went in for an x-ray which came back with arthritis, but the pain causing me not to sleep was in my shoulder muscles, not the bone. Anyways doc recommended an MRI and said I needed to wait to get approved... so I waited to get approved and a couple of days later I received a call that I could now schedule my MRI. 6 months later I am stuck with a 686.00 dollar bill saying that I was authorized but not approved for the procedure. After countless hours talking with billing I am getting no help and I keep getting thrown around like a rag doll. I am appealing this bill and I will be switching insurance companies as soon as possible because blue cross blue shield of Illinois are the biggest scammer I have ever dealt with. User's recommendation: Don’t pick this insurance company. Worst company ever.
