Get this, I went to get my MRI done today. I could not use my Blue Cross and Blue Sheild (primary Health coverage) do to the State Farm auto Insurance(my auto insurance that is dealing with my auto accident), okay. I had to do the MRI as a private pay, still with me? Allright, here is the good part, If I were to file this MRI with Blue cross, or if the facility was allowed to do 3rd party billing and bill state Farm Ins. directly, the bill would be $1310.00 for this procedure. Since I was doing this as a private pay and no insurance would be involved the cost of the procedure will now be $595.00. We wonder why insurance premiums are so high.
Now since the medical facility can not do third party billing, I will recieve an itemized bill for the procedure. I will then turn around and summit the bill to State Farm Ins. and will get my money back.
