Reply to comment by No_Concentrate9935 in Misled by chiropractor, billed for services not rendered, neck injuries, should I take them to small claims court? by SnooMemesjellies7591

I don't know about chiropractors, but for real doctors and hospitals, that was one of Hillary Clinton's poison pills in HIPAA. You can't offer a cash discount lower than what any insurance company would be billed. She didn't want us to be able to negotiate lower prices. ObamaCare negotiated an incentive for higher bills so there's now even more reason those are enforced because they cost insurance companies allowed profit if you pay with cash rather than use insurance.

Is there any chance I can get a refund of the insurance premium too if I cancelled? Should I file a BBB/CFPB claim against Aetna my insurance provider?

This is a devil that had to be allowed in the law to get it passed so that more Americans could have access to healthcare. They needed the insurance company's blessing. Because private corporations have so much control over the political system that we can't write laws to stop them from doing evil things.
