called the second place and they can schedule me, but they can’t schedule me without deciding if i’m paying via insurance or out of pocket. i have not yet received an insurance approval for the MRI, which the pain doctor sent as an urgent request yesterday

so basically, the MRI place can’t schedule me until i tell them i’m paying out of pocket, which is a $1k cost to me to have both MRIs performed (hip and lumbar spine).

$1k is still less expensive than moving my surgery to 2019 since my out of pocket insurance maximum has already been met this year. that max is $6,500, which would be the cost for me to meet in order to have the surgery in 2019. (plus all the anxiety of re-scheduling)

so if i don’t hear back from insurance by 4:15 pacific, i’m going to call and schedule the MRI as an out of pocket cost because i basically have no other options.

pain doctor said “we can’t send referrals over until MRI center calls and says you’re paying out of pocket” and MRI center says “we can’t schedule you or do anything with you as an out of pocket patient until we get referrals”
