Follow-up to my previous post "wouldn't you know it!"
I called the insurance company today and they said the x-rays weren't covered because I had already received my maximum benefits (of $350) in annual preventative care prior to this bill.

Hi Robyn,
An x-ray is a DIAGNOSTIC, not a preventative
I agree. The billing code for an x-ray is diagnostic.
Thanks, ladies.
Good luck! I have to agree that an xray is diagnostic, not preventative! I can't imagine going in to my doc and having him check my ears, blood pressure and then throwing me under and x ray machine!!!
Let us know what they say!

Once all of you chimed in with the word "diagnostic" it made sense to me.
So I called the hospital today.
