How does that work? If I want an MRI of my knee, I just show up and it is covered?

You can see a specialist, like a dermatologist or a surgeon, "IF" they will see you. But, even some specialists will not see a patient without the patient first seeing a primary care provider. But, Medicare will not require a referral, when some Advantage plans will. For an Xray, like an MRI, you would definitely need an order from a medical doctor or other authorized provider.
