Are health care providers obligated to accept payment from a secondary insurance at their fee schedule when the provider does not participate with the the patient's primary insurance?

It has been my experience that providers of health care are not obligated to accept secondary or even primary insurnace coverages if they are not under contract with that insurance company. I believe they are free to accept no insurance coverage at all and demand "cash" up front if they so desire. This would leave it your responsibility to sent the bill to your insurance(s) carrier(s) and get direct payment assuming they cover out of panel care.

Some providers can not refuse you care even if you had no insurance but you would be responsible for the cost of care.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
