Below is a quote mentioning the APA's position on billing for fee compensatable clients
The APA's stated position is market rates plus the additional cost of servicing compensable patients.
What is the rest of the world doing? I would rather not see them at all unless they pay up front. Then they can organise reimbursement directly through their insurer. I feel this would be the best position to take.

How do others feel? Will the insurance companies actually pay more for you to treat their clients than what you charge as a standard fee? I would have thought many would have just said, "no way"! I am very aware that this is common practice in doctors surgeries and also generally in the USA. It however doesn't wash at present in the UK.

This is a great area of interest and perhaps a few national association representatives could post official statements about their position in this area of debate.
