Yes. Typically, it is the patient's responsibility to pay. The doctor's office will file the paperwork for you (usually) with the insurance company. But, if the insurance company doesn't pay them, then they will have to get the money from you. If he does get the money from you, then you can go to the insurance company and ask for reimbursement, or wait for the doctor to reimburse, when he finally gets paid from the insurance company.
