Below is a redacted email we received yesterday from a company president that owns a string of MRI clinics. His published rate for an MRI is $295:
I am sure you are already aware but I wanted to pass along some interesting facts. I recently met with several personal injury attorneys and guess what? They are not at all interested in working with my company for the following reason:
Our services are not expensive enough. They told me that they would use me only if I inflated my MRI bill towards $2500.00 like several providers in XXXXXXX do. Why? So those attorneys can commit insurance fraud and when the case is settled, by providing a larger MRI bill (I am sure they have this arrangement with ALL providers), more money is paid to their client. That means a happy client and a happy attorney as their percentage is larger.
To say the least, wow wee. There is a company here in XXXXXXXX that caters to this attorneys that company is XXXXX XXXXXX, one of the shadiest providers in the region. I thought you might find that side of healthcare interesting.
