Can someone out there tell me that has self paid, but kept fighting the insurance and won.. how that works? do you get reimbursed?

I got my 1st denial and we are now in the 1st appeal process. My DH is telling me that if in a week or two that haven't approved it he wants us to go ahead and self pay... keep fighting the insurance and get reimbursed. Is there anyone out there that has done this? How do they reimburse you? Does the insurance company pay you or the hosiptal???

Thanks
