Massachusetts operates on a no-fault insurance system, which is supposed to expedite treatment for car accident victims. Unfortunately, shady practices by insurers often leaves medical practices in the lurch. Chris Tadros is a top PIP attorney who has helped hundreds of medical practices recover thousands of dollars in unpaid and underpaid claims – all at no cost to them.
How Does The PIP System Work In Massachusetts?
Every driver in Massachusetts is required to carry a certain amount of Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance, and in case of an accident, their own PIP insurance kicks in to cover their medical bills up to the policy limit regardless of who is liable for the accident. PIP insurance covers:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Certain essential services post-accident
PIP insurance is supposed to reimburse the physical therapists, doctors, and chiropractors who treat someone after a car accident without delay- however, this is not the reality. As top Personal Injury Protection lawyers, we’ve found that insurance companies make it a habit to deny, delay, or underpay claims, making it difficult for medical practices to keep up with bills and run a clinic.
How Does This Impact Medical Practices?
Treating accident victims is what medical practices are supposed to do. However, they also deserve to be paid adequately and on time for their services, and there’s no way to keep a chiropractic clinic or doctor’s office running if insurers are not paying their bills. Oftentimes, PIP insurance companies will delay or deny claims to protect their bottom lines. Our firm has helped hundreds of medical practices recover money that was left on the table (even sometimes finding bills the medical clinic themselves had rolled over).
How Can A PIP Attorney Help My Medical Practice Get Paid On Time?
Your medical office’s administration has enough on their hands without dealing with insurers or chasing backed-up paperwork. Moreover, most medical practices don’t have the resources or ability to pursue all those delayed, denied, or underpaid bills. When you work with Chris Tadros, here’s what we do:
1. Review your billing – for free!
We offer no-obligation, no-cost reviews of up to six years of your PIP billing history. We go over your records with a fine-toothed comb and catch any delays, underpayments, or denials you may have missed.
2. Advocate on your behalf
If (when) we find any issues, we send formal demand letters to the insurance company demanding the full payment you deserve for services rendered. We then negotiate aggressively on your behalf to resolve settlements out of court when possible. In our extensive experience, most insurance companies will cough up the money you’re owed when confronted with a lawyer bringing proof of underpayment.
3. We appeal denied claims and file suit
We will appeal unfairly denied claims and file lawsuits in county and small claims court on your behalf. We manage every single aspect of the insurance process so you can focus on your business, including:
- Discovery
- Expert witnesses
- Deposition
- Building the case with independent medical examinations
4. If all fails, we represent you in hearings or trials to advocate for the compensation owed
