As far as your provider is concerned, whether your insurance should pay or not isn't really their problem. I have never been somewhere that did not make me sign a form saying that I agreed to be responsible for whatever my insurance did not pay.

Most providers understand the shit-show that is insurance, and will drastically adjust their behavior and prices based on who is paying.

Maybe, but that doesn't help if it goes to collections like the parent part describes.
