It's scan time again. In fact, I was supposed to have my MRI today, but unfortunately, I can't. I'm not sure if I outlined my new company insurance in this thread, but basically it stated that I had to go to a 3rd party imaging center for my scans or pay what is basically a $500 penalty (as that money doesn't pay for the scan or go towards my deductible). So I scheduled my MRI at a stand alone location, but I found out yesterday that I have to have a special MRI, one that is tied to the scans that were done for my Gamma Knife surgeries. Which means, my scans have to be done at the hospital where the surgery took place - so that just bumped my total out of pocket expense for medical by $2000 this year.

I don't have a new time for the MRI yet, but the CT scan is tomorrow...
