Did you offer to pay for the MRI cash (roughly $5k I would bet)?
Because to me this sounds more like "your insurance won't pay for it because it is not an indicated study by ACR criteria."
I hear that spending hours on the phone trying to justify a test to an insurance company is no fun, and I bet the task is not made any easier if you don't actually believe that the study will help the patient.
