Teresa from Wake called. It appears that even though I have an exception from UHC to be seen at Wake. UHC won’t verify that they will PAY for the MRI as In-Network. Excuse me?? That was the whole point of getting the exception.

Without UHC verifying payment, I could get stuck with the bill as an Out-of-Network expense. The MRI is over $2,000.

The math would be something like this: $2000 for the MRI (plus the office visit), minus the $500 deductible, then UHC would take 65% of the cost of the MRI and I would be left with the remainder.

I’m glad she called. There is no way I’m paying for this.

I called Dr. Schecter’s office to let them know this test wouldn’t be done either.
