Can an insurance company agree to pay for a MRI, issue a referral number, and then change their decision without informing the insured?
A good friend of mine had an approval to get a MRI with a ref. #, had the test done, and started receiving bills almost a year later with threats of being sent to collections. Her doctor said the insurance company is entitled to change its' decision. Aren't they under any obligation to notify the insured of said change? Maybe she wouldn't have had the test done at that time, as it costs over $800 and is self-employed as a massage therapist, with fluctuating income. She had to pay the radiologist in order to avoid ruining her credit, but does she have any recourse?
