Sandrita Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I have made an appointment at Quality Care to see Dr. Miguel Valle. Have any of you seen this doctor and if he referred you for an MRI, where was it done and what was the approximate cost in pesos? Muchas gracias.

gringal Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 As far as I know, MRI's are done in Guadalajara. Cost varies. I had one done last year on my spine that was $4300 pesos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Chopo Labs near Maskara's in Riberas advertises on their door panels that they do them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's news to me. Best to check with the doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oasiscloud Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Chopo does them, but not Lakeside. Talk with Letty, the receptionist at Quality Care, and she can arrange an appointment with Chopo where a driver will pick you up at Quality Care and take you in for the scan. They will also deliver the results back to Quality Care. This is a free service that Chopo is providing (not the MRI of course!). My wife recently did this for a CT scan. Cost was 4,200 pesos I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just spoke to Chopo in CDMX and they said that they do not supply drivers for people from Chapala. Quality care may have supplied a driver and I doubt it was a free ride.

bournemouth Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I am sorry but Chopo does provide rides for some procedures. We were collected at Quality Care and taken to Guadalajara for a PETscan and then returned to Quality Care. For the second PETscan, we used our own driver. The cost was the same as the first scan and both were billed to our ins. company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Yeah, but have you ever heard the term "kickback"? The price could actually be set high enough to "kickback" something to a referring party. The recipient could then pay for any extra service they provided and keep the rest or keep the whole amount if they didn't need to pay for anything. Not saying this is the case here but it certainly is the case often times. There really is no free lunch and somebody (probably the insurance company in this case) paid for that ride.

bournemouth Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 It is a local insurance company and rather tight with their payments - but my point was that Chopo does provide transport for at least some procedures. The most expensive ones I imagine. The ride was in a bumpy little Chevrolet Spark which is why we used our driver the second time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pappysmarket Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 And then after the ride they provide......the MRI should find something wrong if there wasn't to begin with. What a racket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
