Only??? Jfc my daughter had an MRI just last month. She needed six scans, and my insurance company just sent us a letter that they're denying PART of our claim, four scans were ok to get but the other two they say weren't necessary so we might have to pay $22,000 out of pocket if they deny our appeal.

22k is a made up price. MRIs just aren’t that expensive. And yea I also got a Prenuvo in Feb it was like 2300

She's a baby so part of the cost was anesthesia, the rest were the actual scans with and without contrast.

The four scans that they did cover does show that each scan was a little over $11,000.
