Is it legal to bill your spouses dental insurance for work you perform on them? Anyone have input on this? Thanks! Depends on your contract, some specifically say you cannot bill for working on family. If you are OON, you don't have that restriction HOWEVER, it is fraud to bill insurance for a patient you are not intending to collect money from if insurance does not pay, so keep that in mind.
