A member asked:

I've had wrist pain for the last few years, which has gradually worsened to the point of constant pain and limited movement now. my physiotherapist referred me to an orthopedic surgeon... will the scans be covered, as my msa is depleted?

Coverage for MRI?: If the clinical justification for the test is adequately documented for your insurance company, the MRI should be covered.

Insurance: What a world we live in of insurance and deductibles and coverage questions. First one needs a medical indication, then there may be deductibles or out of pocket expenses, these are all greatquesitons to ask the MRI provider but first don't you wan tot see if you actually need the test. Plain X-rays and an exam by a competent orthopedist or hand surgeon may tell you more than enough.
