This simple decision removes ethical or contractual concerns about “double-dipping,” eliminates the immense complexities and headaches of billing, and greatly reduces paperwork. In exchange for surrendering that insurance money, I am freed of the rules and restrictions of the insurance companies, which simplifies my life immeasurably.
