I found a private MRI in the Pittsburgh area that charged me $350 for my knee that confirmed I needed arthroscopic for a torn Miniscus.

Within "the system" an MRI averages $2,000.00

it was a sacrifice, but I came up with the 350 ... no WAY could I swing 2 grand.

My GP is an Indian doctor that I’ve gone to for almost 30 years. He is a wizard at finding low-cost facilities for tests like MRIs in the price ranges you cited. I honestly don’t know what I would do for a doctor when he retires.

I don’t understand.

Is the $2000 billed to you or to the insurance company? And can you choose to pay by yourself even when you have insurance?
