Re: mri Ny
Hi hopeforeva,
You may have to get a letter of medical necessity from your GYN in order to get this covered by insurance. Have you discussed this with him/her?
Kind regards,
Karyn

Re: mri Ny
yeah a letter or referral is no problem im just concernd it wont be covered cuz its out of state
Re: mri Ny
Each insurance plan is so different you would have to check with your plan. Mine covered out of state items that were not available in state as long as it was considered medically necessary. Good luck with your insurance.

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

bad news my insurance wont cover mri im screwd
Re: mri Ny
Not even with a letter of medical necessity?hope4eva wrote:bad news my insurance wont cover mri im screwd
There's a difference between a referral and a letter of medical necessity. If your doctor writes a letter explaining your unique condition, requiring unique imaging not available in your area; sometimes the insurance will allow and pay for the scan.hope4eva wrote:yeah a letter or referral is no problem im just concernd it wont be covered cuz its out of state

Re: mri Ny
i know the doc did a preaautherasation and referral i will ask about the letter thank u
Re: mri Ny
Well, that's unfortunate, Eva. Maybe it would be worth it to go through the appeals process. Or maybe you could get a local doc to follow Potter's protocol if there is 3T MRI capability in your community.
