They shouldn't be billed as either. They are non-surgical procedures that are not part of a standard office visit. I don't know what the name of the category is.

They can get more money from the insurance that way!

Easy, it is known as insurance fraud. I suggest you report them to your state's insurance commission.

They are scamming your insurance company or you.
