Personally I've found, "Assume that I'm paying you in cash, not with insurance" as a prefix to a question is very, very helpful with doctors.
Before I tried this approach, I would get "you might want to consider having your tonsils removed. Have a nice day" over and over again for about 8 years.
After I tried this approach it was, "Go see an ENT and have them removed immediately!". From the same doctor who was otherwise afraid of insurance related referral paperwork.
