You do not HAVE to file an insurance claim, just because you are covered.

So an office visit with lab work IS cheaper than their co-pay? Really? Do these ho-dunks take their, still under warranty, vehicles to the local mechanic cause he charges less than the dealer will charge the manufacturer as well?
