It is important for patients to take the following steps before your MRI appointment:
- Patients should find out if their insurance policy or plan requires a pre-authorization or referral. If so, the patient should contact the insurance company and find out what is needed to obtain one. The phone number is usually found on the back of the insurance card.
- Patients should give ARI OPEN MRI Center their complete insurance information, including insurance card, name and address of the insurance plan, claims payer, the ID number and group numbers, and the name of the policy holder or subscriber. Worker’s compensation, automobile, or personal injury cases require pre-authorization and, if applicable, the name and address of the patient’s attorney.
ARI MRI handles the billing for both services, and can be reached for billing questions at (914) 761-8287.
If a patient does not have medical insurance and/or is concerned about paying for the procedure, they should contact ARI OPEN MRI Center, we strive to help.
Ultimately, the patient is responsible for payment of the accounts, including any deductible and/or balance not covered by their insurance plan.
