Certainly there are times it’s darned frustrating dealing with them and times you have to fight with them over paying stuff. Of course, it depends on your coverage (and some insurances are accepted more places than others—I miss the old days when my insurance had a deductible, and I paid EVERYTHING but once I hit the deductible they paid most stuff at 80%. Of course I had to send it in to get reimbursed, but it was a far superior system).
My point is, if she needs an MRI she needs to get it down ASAP and not wait for the insurance.
I have pleaded with her to just pay for it and get it done. Her thick skull is saying no.
I agree - the old days were much better.
