Been there, done that. I had the EXACT same issue with my daughter's T. Maybe because she isn't my therapist, I had no problems telling her that the insurance co. did not want me to submit the bills, since she was an approved provider.
Long story short: I only paid my portion of the bill ($50) and she NEVER submitted any claims to the insurance company for the remaining 50% balance ... CRAZY I know!! Now my husband has changed jobs, new insurance so I pay the entire fee, and get a check for 70% of her fee. Every therapist, every insurance policy is SO SO SO different. AND ... I kept getting different answers when I called the insurance co. direct. Finally, they submitted my claims to a "manager" and they sent me a "determination" statement telling me, at the end of the day, what I owed and what they would cover. They looked over my bills and wrote me a check for $450+ .... it was worth the phone call.
You need to fight for payment sometimes.
