Yes, you do, otherwise the insurer's computer won't know what type of service you've had done. The computer then compares the code with the terms of your policy and determines what, if anything, to pay (this is a simplified version of the process).
Participating health care providers should send a claim to the insurer for you; however, if you've seen a non-participating provider, you'll need to send the claim yourself, unless the provider's office staff volunteers to do this for you. If you have to send the bill yourself, some providers will simply print a "CMS 1500" form for you to mail.

For a provider, yes you do. As a patient, you might not.
