FRONT MONEY FOR TREATMENT

Question

I would like to post a fact, Can you correct both parts?

In some European countries, some medical centers ask you for your insurance card. If you have insurance, you don't have to pay. They will deal with the insurance company to get paid.

Make sure to have your insurance card in handy to avoid to have to front the money for medical treatment.

The first part is fine.

'Make sure you have your insurance card handy to avoid having to pay up front for medical treatment.'

Is 'to get paid' correct followed by 'deal with the company.
I've heard 'I'll deal with him' but no one ever continues the sentence and adds a verb 'to get paid' for instance.

Is it incorrect to use front as a verb?

Is natural to write "will deal with the insurance company to get paid"

In the dictionary is says front the money, that isn't in your list. Do you consider that slang?
