My wife and I have BCBS Blue Advantage and have used Russell Medical for numerous procedures.  The only thing we pay up front is our copay/deductible and that is only because they give a 15% discount if we do so.  If you ask them to bill you, you lose the discount.  We have never been asked to pay our insurance's payment up front and then get reimbursed.
