If a doctor give a patient a 20 percent discount do you have to file the discounted amount to insurance?
Is it the patient or the dentist that is filing for insurance payment? A dentist that is in a network, is contractually required to file the discounted charge given to the patient. Any payment made from the insurer is governed by the terms of the insurance policy. If the policy indicates that the patient files a claim based on the charge and requires a copy of the billing to support the claim, then the patient is bound to report the fee charged, i.e. the discounted fee. If the patient (and/or the doctor) files a charge other than the actual charge, they could be engaged in fraud. Shorter answer not based on law but what is ethical--yes.
What is payment for insurance?
Payment of insurance is nothing but the premium paid towards the insurance policy. The premium amount includes the charge of coverage per unit (for example, the charge of coverage for $1000 might be $10. So, to have an insurance coverage for $10,000 the charge of coverage would be $100) plus the expenses incurred by the insurance company for the policy.

Should the Dr's office bill the patient for the Provider Discount that the insurance company gets?
If the dentist is part of the insurance company's network, he or she is contracted NOT to balance bill the patient for the discount negotiated as part of the contract. The dentist can charge for the difference between the discounted rate and what the insurer pays. For example, if the usual charge for the procedure is $100 but the discounted amount is $60 and the insurer pays half; then the dentist can charge you $30. But the dentist should NOT be charging you the $30 PLUS the $40 discounted amount. If this happens you should contact your insurance company as the dentist may be in violation of his or her contract.
