Thanks for all of the good information, falls. I thought this might be where it was all headed. Unfortunately, I don't believe my insurance covers anything for out-of-network providers. I'll have to check for sure, but if that's the case, I'd rather he stay a provider so I can get reimbursed at least a portion. But then, he's breaking the rules of his contract. Sigh.
So, my next question I guess is how do I approach him about it? I feel like I'm in a pretty lousy situation. Accept what he's doing and pay more than I should or tell him what he is doing is wrong, which could lead him to drop the insurance all together then I have to pay without any reimbursement. (Not to mention I hate discussing money with him in the first place.)
It also stinks because he knows I can afford his fee. For months, I was paying with no thought of being reimbursed at all. I just don't want to pay more than I have to, you know? I have insurance for a reson. And who knows, today it's $90. He could increase his fee at anytime. I know he's charging less than others in the area with his experience.
Darn him.
