Trying to get an MRI for my wife has been a nightmare. 2-3 weeks out, office staff having to change the referral, but the biggest pain is with the authorization from the INSURANCE COMPANY! I used to work for Blue Cross and the authorization process was a pain years ago and even worse now. That has been the biggest issue with the facilities is the amount of time it takes to get the approval... and it's not only with Lake Medical, but Advent Health independent providers, etc. They know about how long it takes to get the approvals. Funny that you can get one tomorrow if you are paying cash...
