Yes it seems the complexity of billing still has something to do with Who Pays.

I had a similar issue where I was billed for a physical that my insurance provider would not pay. My wife suggested I have the Dr. office re-code the bill. Not sure what that is but I contacted the Dr. office and explained that it was not a wellness check up but an annual physical that my insurance should cover. After arguing for about 10 minutes they finally agreed to re-submit to insurance under that code... and it ended up being covered by insurance after all.

Now, imagine how much is being lost by most people having to go through that, most of whom aren't perceptive enough to notice this...
