Chiropractor trying to retro my bill

My chiro suddenly informed me due to clerical error since 2009, the clerk did not file my insurance properly and would now like me to pay $400 in back co-pays, even though my two insurances were covering...

I actually spoke with a lawyer today and she said that it was unfortunate since the law wasn’t protecting the consumer. She gave me a few options and said he was probably offering that I only have to pay half the bill because he was avoiding any type of legal action. The chiro probably is trying to avoid court because he would have to answer to the judge for what he was doing. I did make an offer to the chiro and said I would stop at the office and pay $100 in cash to call it good. He refused and asked for $200. I said I would get back with him later. They are sounding very contrite about the whole thing and I was assured they would not send it to collections. I’m going to try one more thing in January. The lawyer told me to send the check for $100 in the mail stating that it was my offer and for them to close my account as paid in full. If they cashed the check, then it’s seen as an agreement to my letter. We shall see!

Is there such a thing as filing for legal separation? Just wondering.
