[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 561219, member: 59"] My husband needed an MRI on his knee about six motnhs ago. We called the place the dr was sending him to ask about the cost ansd they couldn;t even tell us, had no idea. We started checking places and calling all over and finally found a place that was able to tell us they would only charge him $300 which was what insurnace would allow. He went there and we saved a bundle. We have had a high deductible forever because of a preexisting condition of my husband's and the fact that no one would insure us even tough his "condition" has never cost a penny in medical bills and occurred over 40 years ago. So we are use to trying to keep costs down. But you are right, most places are not use to patients asking prices and are not set up to be able to answer them. They need to get use to it. [/QUOTE]
