I am currently getting Invisalign treatment through an Orthodontia Provider in California. I paid for the treatment up front at $3,000. I was told by the provider that it was unlikely that insurance would cover any of this. A few months into the treatment, I checked with my insurance and discovered that they do cover this.



When I called my provider, I was told that they would file the claim and it would take 6-8 weeks for me to receive a check. 7 weeks later I called my insurance and discovered that they had the payment sent to them and it was electronically deposited immediately (7 weeks ago)! When I called my provider and asked why it would take 6-8 weeks for me to receive a check, they said "Management has to approve it". This honestly sounds very sketchy to me and I'm worried I will never receive my claim payment.



So two questions:



1) Why would an Orthodontia provider want to receive this payment at all in the first place? I was thinking maybe tax reasons.



2) If they never end up sending me the claim refund, do I have any legal power to fight against this? I have all of the original receipts and an EOP report.
