No. Your insurance cannot actually be billed for a service prior to a service being received. However, your doctor can, and may even be required to submit, an advance referral, or request for a procedure to see in order for the service to be covered. If your doctor is billing your insurance in advance of services, and you cancel an appointment or procedure your insurance should not have to pay. However, many doctors due chage a "missed appointment" fee, which you personally have to pay for. Since many people have limited coverage, billing insurance for services and procedures never received is a problem. You may also end up getting billed for a co-pay or deductible for a service you never received.
