Question 3 • Contemporary Health

Sarah’s doctor recommends that she get an MRI to help diagnose the cause of her headaches. The doctor provides a list of MRI facilities. Which is an indicator that a facility is a poor choice for Sarah?

Answer
A
The facility accepts most health insurance policies but not Sarah’s.
B
The facility is recommended by her family doctor.
C
The facility has been operating for more than five years.
D
The facility has new, state-of-the-art equipment.

Explanation

A facility that does not accept Sarah’s health insurance may leave her responsible for much more of the cost, making it a poor choice compared with facilities that are covered by her plan. A recommendation from her doctor, several years of operation, and modern equipment are generally positive indicators.
