@keithl56 I can guarantee that the $7000 is the inflated "retail" price and is not what your insurance paid. Most discounts for radiology are in the 70%+ range. Part of the ripoff of the US medical establishment. When my insurance refuses to pay they say I should pay the full retail in their EOBs. I got a $664 radiology charge on my mpMRI insurance said was not medically necessary. I appealed it. Before the appeals were over the practice sent it to collections. Offered to pay at the same discount that insurance paid ($120) but this was not accepted. It was approved on external review and my insurance paid their contracted rate of $63 to the practice. The reviews probably cost them more than if they had just paid. I would have paid the $63 if that was offered to me vs. the appeals but was not going to be ripped off for $664.
