I recently had to get a MRI arthrogram for a SLAP tear in my shoulder. I called before the procedure and asked them the price after insurance, they told me they would call me back.
They called me later that day with an out of pocket price of $624. I then went to have the procedure and paid the $624 beforehand got my diagnosis (minor tear, no surgery just physical therapy).
Three weeks later I get a bill for an additional $503? I call the billing department and they told me the original price was only an estimate and that the additional amount was the difference I owe after my insurance paid, the total being $3,794.
When I pressed they gave me a supervisor who seems to think that they gave me a misquote and that the arthrogram is the most expensive MRI and that might be the reason and that he would call the clinic.
Curios I did some searching and called around and got a quote for the procedure in cash for $900 that’s without insurance. Now I’m supposed to pay $1,127 and that’s only my portion not what the insurance company already paid? What can I do here? I have the money to pay it but it feels like BS.
I live in Oklahoma , USA if it’s relevant.
