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.
