I don't think it is. Sidecar Health is doing just fine on this model[1]

It's pretty perverse that you, an insured person, would have to lie about having insurance because the provider would charge you more for being insured.

The same goes for pharmacies. Walmart advertises $4 generics. If your insurance has a $25 drug co-pay, then they will charge you the full $25.
