Payment for MDi Services:
- If you have insurance, you will be billed for your portion of the bill following the exam. Our staff will not know your personal insurance benefits so it is your responsibility to call your insurance company in advance to find out if the exam you’re having is covered by insurance (or not), and to find out what your co-pay will be. MDi and your physician will provide you with any supporting documents needed, i.e. procedure code (CPT) and diagnosis code (ICD9).
