This is very important, Please read!! Re: TCI testing expenses

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I've been to TCI twice. My first visit was when I had my testing

done up there. If you have insurance & they state they will not pay

out of network you can appeal that, but my advice would be to have

your testing locally & take your images up with you. In 2005 I know

that my testing was more than $10,000. It really depends on what is

ordered.

Just recently I had to make another appointment with TCI. My

secretary at TCI, faxed my orders for testing to a facility locally

so that my insurance would pay for the tests (but you need to

request that!). She also mailed the script orders to me. I needed

them when I went for my appts at the imaging center. Communication

with your secretary & nurse at TCI is very important!

Getting all my tests done was successful & the insurance compamy

paid in full. Sadly, I had to cancel my attempt to return to TCI,

due to finances. My insurance just would not budge this time & my

attempts to find assistance through TCI failed.

Sometimes we feel like we're drowning & no one will throw us a

life preserver. The point being is........make sure everything is

arranged & you know exactly what is expected of " you " . And I can't

say this enough.......Check, Double check, Re-check, & Check again.

Make sure your prepared & everything is out on the table!
