Just giving you some options.
Jewel, private health insurance may or may not cover it. Some will some won't do anything because it's WC. The WC industry has gotten really bad in CA. Everything is a waiting game. Some insurance companies are good about getting the injured care quickly some are very slow.
I have seen people get surgery in a month and have seen some wait five years.
Been in the industry for 14 years and have seen it all.

But what if they decide it is not WC and the WCI doesn't pay for the MRI? Does the OP have the cover the cost of the MRI. I would think he would try and have the Private Medical Insurance pay for the cost, since it is something that would have needed to be done if it wasn't a WC claim.
