To ensure that you continue to receive the highest quality medical care
and to protect your credit it is important to immediately pay medical
bills. As a part of our legal representation in your claim we manage and
coordinate payment of medical bills. We will coordinate the paperwork
to obtain payment of those medical bills through your own medical
coverage. Sometimes, you don't have medical coverage, so in those cases,
we look at any automobile/personal injury protection coverage that you
may have. Sometimes, you don't have personal injury protection coverage,
so we have to look at the insurance coverage of other parties involved
in the accident. Sometimes that coverage is not available. Then we have
to look at state and federal medical payment programs. And even if you
can't qualify there, we'll arrange with your health care providers to
hold collection on unpaid bills until you've received your settlement.
The point is, there are a lot of alternatives, and we'll explore all of
them. If there is one thing we are good at, it is finding coverage. And
it turns out the order in which the payment sources cover the bills is
important, because once you receive a settlement, how much you have to
pay back to those who have covered the bills depends on the order in
which the bills were originally paid. If you aren’t familiar with all
the overlapping rules on coverage and subrogation don’t try to do this
at home. Get legal help. It doesn’t have to be our firm. But get a
lawyer to handle the paperwork, because you have to get your medical
bills paid immediately. Developing a successful legal strategy is best
left in the hands of an experienced personal injury attorney. At Brett
