What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado
I currently have insurance with a very high deductible. I would like to continue seeing a particular doctor (she's the only one who has been able to provide any help) but her office doesn't take my insurance (I used to have Medicaid which they take, but I no longer do). The financial office there said it's illegal to self pay if I have insurance, that they are required by law to bill insurance. Is this true? If I told them I don't have insurance even though I do, will I, or they, actually get in legal trouble if it were discovered?
