    1. You can still bill the claim to patient because there are multiple reasons when insurance pays the claim to patient,
      1. AOB not signed.
      2. Provider is out of network.

      In your case, provider may be out of network.

    1. If the patient has out-of-network benefits and the group is not contracted with insurance then insurance will make payment to the patient.

    1. Out-of-network denial occurs when a provider is out-of-network and the patient plan does not cover out-of-network benefits. If the patient's plan covers out-of-network benefits then it gets paid to the patient.
