(96,793 posts)They sent me a letter with a questionnaire to complete. The letter said if I couldn't prove I had been injured they wouldn't pay for the MRI.
I wanted to ask if it's even possible to walk into a hospital and get an MRI just because you feel like it.
Gee I have nothing else to do today, I guess I'll head on over to my neighborhood hospital and get an MRI.
The funny thing is I had been in a car accident and received medical care paid for by THE SAME INSURANCE COMPANY. The MRI was ordered by the doctor who treated me for my injuries. But the brainiacs at the insurance company apparently were incapable of looking in my file and finding the treatment they had paid for. So they hired an investigator to send me a letter threatening to refuse to pay for the MRI unless I could prove I had been injured.
And we wonder why insurance rates keep going up.
