You should be able to turn around and submit a claim yourself to your insurance.

  That's true. I don't know about the legality of telling a provider you don't have insurance if you do, though.

    It shouldn't matter one bit to the provider. This shouldn't be a triangular relationship at all. Provider should be providing a service for a known price. I should be able to claim to my insurance I've received said service and then they reimburse the thing. Having them negotiate in such a way that I have to pay both for insurance and then pay more for the fucking service after their deduction is some kind of insanity.

      I realize it "should" not matter, but in reality this is what I've encountered. And I don't know if it is impermissible to say you do not have insurance in order to get the no-insurance pricing. I simply said that I had a HDHP and they let me pay the cash price.
