this review is pertaining to my experience with the st luke mri imaging center. their insurance billing tactic is excessive and unethical. my ortho doc refered me to this place and ordered mri with contrast and steroid shot to hip. before I made the appointment I asked what my out of pocket expense was. the front desk quoted me $970 since I did not meet my insurance dedutible. I call green imaging to see what the cash price was if I was going through them without using my insurance. green imaging quoted me $500 for mri and $300 for the radiologist for a total of $800. I decided to pay more and went with st luke since the difference was small. boy was I wrong. after paying the $970, the radiologist sent a bill for $300. st luke did not tell me the $970 was only for the mri test that did not include radiologist's fee. I went ahead and paid it since it was not radiologist's fault. a week later I got another bill from st luke for $1000, saying I still have a balance of $1000 I need to pay them. their billed amount was $5500 to my insurance and my out of pocket cost was $1970. $5500 for a freaking MRI!!!!! anyhow save yourself headache and steer away from this shady place. they asked for $2300 even with insurance when I could've pay $800 cash with green imaging. they should've told me my total cost is $2300 and not $970. this is bait and switch scam. if you like get ripped off and have money to burn this is the place for you!!!!!
