Is it insurance fraud to have insurance but choose to self pay for medical services?

Asked by JLeslie (65425points) October 12th, 2021 from iPhone

More than once doctors offices and diagnostic centers tell me they can’t charge me self pay once they know I have insurance. I want to write my congressman and the president about this bullshit! Bullshit if it is some sort of law or fraud, or bullshit if it isn’t a law and medical offices use the line. It’s garbage either way.

The latest is the doctor I want to see in a group doesn’t take my insurance, but I already gave my insurance info to the receptionist so now she will only let me see the doctors in the group who take my insurance. I can’t pay to see the other doctor, but if I had no insurance I could.
