Annual checkup and routine blood work

Reference no: EM133645820

Prudence goes in for an annual checkup and some routine blood work. Because she goes to an in-network provider, this is a free preventive care visit. However, based on her physical, her primary care physician thinks Prudence should see a neurologist, and the neurologist recommends an MRI. Co-pays for an in-network specialist on her plan are $50, which she must pay, while her insurance will cover the rest of the neurologist's fee. The MRI provider in her insurer's network and will charge $1,000 for the MRI, including the radiologist fees for interpreting the scan. Imaging scans like the MRI are "subject to deductible" under Prudence's policy, so she must pay for it herself, or out-of-pocket, because she hasn't met her deductible yet. So her insurance won't pay anything to the MRI facility.

Note: Co-pays do not typically count toward the yearly deductible on health insurance plans. Let's assume that in this case. What are her Total out-of-pocket costs?
