I had an MRI years ago and was asked to sign that I would pay for it if it wasn't covered or pay the balance if it was.  I would just sign it.

It is also protection for the provider if Medicare denies the service.  Does happen.

It's a standard request.

I have regular Medicare and Blue Cross/ Blue Shield as my supplemental..I pay a lot for it monthly..If Medicare pays $1..BC/BS pays everything else..I've been told we were  Grandfathered in this plan is no longer avaiable..I have never been asked to sign if they didn't get paid..I have never paid anything for tests ,doctors or hospital stays(months at a time with many surgeries)..even spent 45 days in a private nursing home for rehab to learn to walk again..never saw a bill.
