If the name on the bill does not match your insurance ID card, big red tape follows.
This is SOP in modern, HIPAA-regulated medicine. If there is any discrepancy between names, it shows up fairly quickly when your insurance refuses coverage.
European family names tend to be based on occupations or other descriptions, i.e., if your name is "Smith," odds are one of your ancestors was a worker in metal. "Blutbaden" as a family name for a wesen would be an obvious indication of what sort of wesen you are. Possibly too obvious, and at some point in your family's history a name your ancestors might have decided to shed except in family heirlooms you only bring out to show people you trust.
