Potter MRI and Insurance?

Post by PN-SufferVT »

If the Potter MRI is out of network, what have people found to be the best way to illustrate the need of the MRI to Insurance? Answers appreciated.
PN started in June 2009, quickly pain level went to 10. PN probably caused from long hours sitting in car, followed by weightlifting/sports daily. My pain level are now daily between 1 and 4. I do not know if I have true entrapment, but definitely know I have neuralgia of the PN.

My referring dr got the approval for my MRI and I had just had one three months prior. I'm sure it was out of network since I live in MI. Is your referring dr having difficulty getting it approved?

We had to write a letter of medical necessity. If you would like, I will try to find mine, and you can use it as a template.

We got it approved almost instantly.
