As a medical provider, you’ve dedicated your life to helping patients recover from their injuries. But when insurance companies unfairly delay or deny patient claims, your practice may be losing thousands of dollars. An experienced PIP law firm can help ensure that insurers pay claims out on time, and that your practice is not leaving any money on the table.
How Does PIP Work in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts is a no-fault state, meaning that the accident victim’s own Personal Protection Insurance pays up to $8,000 of their medical bills, regardless of who is at fault. Since many insurers may delay or deny claims to protect their own bottom line, PIP litigation in Massachusetts often involves medical providers rather than the injured parties. At Mass PIP Lawyers, we represent medical providers such as:
- Physical therapists
- Chiropractors
- Urgent care clinics
- Orthopedic specialists
- Radiology centers
- Pain management providers
- EMS and ambulance services
Auto insurers are legally required to pay PIP claims in a fair and timely manner. Medical providers are allowed under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 90 § 34M to take legal action when PIP benefits are unfairly delayed, denied, or underpaid. Interest and attorney’s fees are also included when the medical provider wins in court. Using this law, our firm pursues payments for every properly delivered and documented service through evidence and litigation when insurers do not meet their obligations.
When Should I Hire a PIP Law Firm?
Whether your practice needs to resolve a single unpaid claim or catch up on a stack of delayed reimbursements, we will make sure you are treated fairly by insurers. Although PIP is designed to offer swift reimbursement for medical bills after an accident, many providers are faced with payment obstacles – even when claims are submitted properly. Mass PIP Lawyers can help you in the following cases:
- Reduced reimbursement rates: Insurers may apply incorrect billing codes or attempt to lower the customary billing rate
- Unjustified payment denials: They may claim treatment was unrelated to the accident or wholly unnecessary
- Failure to respond: Insurers may fail to act on claims within mandated time periods
- Independent medical exams (IMEs): Insurers may provide independent medical exams to try and prevent future payments
- Delayed processing: Forcing the provider to wait excessive amounts of time past legal deadlines
Such problems can mount quickly, creating administrative burdens and disrupting your cash flow.
