Hi , thanks for the input , I have a couple of questions if you have the time ..... did Kaiser require a biopsy before or after you scheduled the MRI ? I'm in Orange County maybe they are different in their protocol - when you went to the out of plan provider did you have to pay out of pocket ? If so what did the MRI and Pathology fees add up to ? Thanks in advance for the info

Good afternoon.
No, Kaiser did whatever the urologist requested; MRI, then biopsy, and lastly the PetScan to determine if the cancer had spread. Only the last one was questioned but okayed.
It was with all this info that à treatment plan was developed.
My Senior Advantage policy covered everything except for a couple of imaging copays that were $40. each.
Hope this helps.
Good thoughts.
