In my case, I need to get a head MRI every 6-12 months for the rest of my life, and regular oncology visits forever. I'm still going to investigate the feasibility of going without insurance; the possible ER visit is what really has me worried.
I had to get a head MRI this year as well through insurance. They billed 2500$ that all went towards my deductible.
In the past without insurance I was able to negotiate down a spine MRI from 2000$ to 500$ if I paid on the spot. Do with that what you want...
But essentially we are being forced to pay higher prices with insurance. Absolute scam.
