Is there any billing recourse for a Radiology facility when patients are unable to complete an MRI due to claustrophobia? I know there is a reduced services which you can use for surgery but if the MRI was actually started would that be appropriate or would it prevent the insurance company from paying for the test if it was accomplished at an open or stand up unit? We are experiencing 3-4 a week and with the lowered reimbursement, it is becoming a financial burden.
