<prompt> Human: I recently had to get a MRI arthrogram for a SLAP tear in my shoulder. I called before the procedure and asked them the price after insurance, they told me they would call me back. They called me later that day with an out of pocket price of 624. I then went to have the procedure and paid the 624 beforehand got my diagnosis minor tear, no surgery just physical therapy. Three weeks later I get a bill for an additional 503? I call the billing department and they told me the original price was only an estimate and that the additional amount was the difference I owe after my insurance paid, the total being 3,794. When I pressed they gave me a supervisor who seems to think that they gave me a misquote and that the arthrogram is the most expensive MRI and that might be the reason and that he would call the clinic. Curios I did some searching and called around and got a quote for the procedure in cash for 900 thats without insurance. Now Im supposed to pay 1,127 and thats only my portion not what the insurance company already paid? What can I do here? I have the money to pay it but it feels like BS. I live in Oklahoma , USA if its relevant.UPDATE: They called me back and agreed to waive the remaining amount. Im not sure why but I think when he couldnt answer my question on why I was told the wrong price after asking them verify with my insurance the out of pocket expense and they failed and the total cost in cash after insurance being higher then the cash cost might have had something to do with it. They still ended up charging 3200 which is above market on average so..  <response>: Someone is ripping you off. Imaging is such a rip off industry as well. I live in Dallas, and was searching for a provider to do an MRI on my brain a few years back. Everywhere I called within DFW was upwards of 1800 with insurance covering 0. Also, insurance wanted to play medical provider and tell me that it was not even necessary despite brain tumors being an issue with my father and grandfather. So instead I searched the internet and found a place in Weatherford, that would do it for 350 cash. The only downside was a 1.5 hour drive. Considering I make 50hour, that was an easy decision. Contrast vs non contrast was about a 200 difference.
