A: A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You may want to consult with an attorney to discuss all aspects of this. Would you open yourself up to a libel action? Sometimes "not providing services as advertised" could be subject to debate. An attorney could help you flesh out what your interests are. The insurance company's interests could be separate from yours, where it's possible yours could be a refund or adjustment in fees paid, while it's possible their interests could include pursuing the facility for insurance fraud. One could only guess from the brief facts of your post. Good luck
