I wouldn't be surprised if they are haggling with the insurance company on the risks of reusing a booster.

  It's possible. Only this summer did insurance rates on the Falcon 9 come down to those on the Ariane 5. SpaceX will have to provide extensive data (especially from the static fire in McGregor) to bolster reliability claims on a landed booster.

  That's partly why they've been doing a bunch of full duration static fires on one of the landed cores. They've done 3 already that are known, they plan on doing around a dozen. That sort of thing should considerably reduce the uncertainty about flying a reused booster.
