Insurance problem.m a dental doctor, I did some implants of a patient almost a year ago,?

Here is what happened: Im a dental doctor, I did some implants of a patient almost a year ago, at that time he said he didn't had any insurance and he paid us cash, coz it was my earlier part of dental practice, so I gave him a lot of discounts and all that. Now after 9,10 months that patient said that he had an insurance(so basically he lied earlier) and we should file the claim to his insurance for all that treatment he had that time. Since he has a very poor insurance plane so if we do that now we will have to pay him back a lot since his insurance cover very little in dental portion. I called his insurance and they said we have to file the claim, this is our only option. Any help?

You have no obligation to file an insurance claim on his behalf. Additionally, once six months are past, most insurers won't accept the claim. You need to put his account through collections. Sue him for it. He lied, about the insurance. Now he'll have to pay.
