Making Informed Healthcare Decisions

Question 13 • Mong 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 has new, state-of-the-art equipment.
B
The facility is recommended by her family doctor.
C
The facility has been operating for more than five years.
D
The facility accepts most health insurance policies but not Sarah’s.

Explanation

A facility that does not accept Sarah’s health insurance may leave her with much higher out-of-pocket costs, making it a poor choice. New equipment, a recommendation from her family doctor, and several years of experience are all reassuring signs, though Sarah should also consider the facility’s quality and whether her insurance covers it.
