You can. I've done exactly this.
Some shady anesthetologists (and others) often try to bill you out of network. In-network charges are subject to insurance company price controls while out of network charges are not.
Once you make it clear you are paying in-network, as you kindly explained to the receptionist (who told you it was all covered), they back down real quick. It's just a scam they try to pull on the uninformed.
