Revised PKR to TKR Makoplasty: ongoing pain<

Diagnostic Imaging will not bill me the $178.00 it's going to cost to get the mri done. The is the amount until my out of pocket is met. My deductible is already met. I have been on the phone crying to everyone I can since 8am. They WILL NOT BILL. My MRI will have to be rescheduled.. I am heartbroken. :bawl:
 
I can't believe they waited to tell you until the day of the MRI.
 
I am glad I did not show up for the appt and then they tell me this. I would have lost my mind in their waiting room. lololol
 
I will wait until Dr. BOHN submits his bill. Then my out of pocket will be met. I have borrowed all I am going to borrow from people. Just disappointed.
 
I'm so sorry that you have to wait for the MRI. I'm sure you are frustrated with all of this. Hang on. There is light at the end of the tunnel,
 
I was able to obtain the results of the X-rays that were taken at my appt with Dr. Bohn. I really don't even know what anterior tissue signal in retro/infrapatellar knee space is.

Report: Knee Minimum 3 Views Bilateral Findings: AP, Merchant and lateral radiographs of the left & right knees reveal the osseous structures to be intact and well aligned. The joint spaces are well preserved. The articular margins are smooth. No evidence of joint effusions are noted but there appears to be anterior tissue signal in retro/infrapatellar knee space. IMPRESSION: Radiographically normal left & right knee study s/p bilateral patellofemoral arthroplasties, possible increased scar tissue signal infrapatellar region
 
Do you have the X-ray itself? If so can you post it so when Josephine is back from vacation she can take a look?
 
Review of that report is going to have to wait for @Josephine to return from vacation. Sorry. I'm also sorry about your MRI, but it sounds like you have a plan and that's good. Don't get discouraged! This is just a little delay.

You can get the xray from the clinic, but they might ask you to pay for the disc copy. That wouldn't be worth the $10 or so that's sometimes charged for those things. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask if there is a charge.
 
So after spending hours on the phone today I talked a really nice lady at Olathe Medical Center billing into submitting Dr. Bohns bill from my visit on 01/31/2017 to my insurance company. It should post within a few days and at that point I will call diagnostic imaging and reschedule sooner then the 20th if I can. This time my deductible and out of pocket will be met and there will be no charge for the MRI. Whew.
 
I'm glad you were able to solve the problem. Since they got you in quickly before hopefully they'll be able to do it again.
 
I'm glad you've found a solution. I hope you get an appointment soon.
 
I agree you need another opinion. If you can't get another surgeon to weigh in, maybe try a pain management specialist? I hope you feel better soon.
 
Good job!!! Sometimes these things take a lot of effort, but it's worth it when it works. Good luck getting the MRI sooner.
 
@PkrJune15 That is great about getting out of pocket taken care of. If you have access to your insurance on line check it daily...as soon as you see the remittance/EOB for the /31 appointment you should be ready to go. Or you can call your insurance to see if claim has been processed.
 
I`m so glad you`ve got that sorted! I`ve no idea how the system works in the US but your situation sounded awful. So glad you`ve fixed it!
 
Checking the insurance site to see if it's been processed every couple of hours. I got a statement that I pulled up and it looks like it takes about a week from what I can see. Thanks for all your positive thoughts. It truly helps me keep my chin up.
