Q: Can a doctor not accept insurance plans they are contracted to accept?
A MRI clinic in San Juan, Puerto Rico say they don’t accept my insurance plan. In speaking with my provider they tell me they are under contract and are obligated to do so.
A: An attorney practicing in Puerto Rico could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Provide the billing department of the MRI center with the name and contact information for the insurance carrier representative you spoke with and ask them to contact the carrier (unless it's a case of the center withdrawing from being a participating provider with that insurance carrier). Good luck
