  that negative feelings come from places where my mental image of the world conflicts with objective reality.

  Used to work in the backend of insurance.

  It’s ‘possible’ to double bill for a good reason, but it’s an outlier of a situation.

  If you have a shitty insurance company, they’ll stretch money in bad times by only paying places out after multiple requests. They also get trained that if an insurance company drags their feet, the second time they’re billed, they get paid, so they always do it.

  Any insurance company worth its salt will catch double billing.

  Now, all that said, a LOT of providers double bill and get paid multiple times.

  It’s usually assholes all-the-way down.
