Why You Should Never Quit

It is a new year and it is a good time to reflect on what's been working and what hasn't been working in your practice. Are you getting your bills fully paid by auto insurers or are they still chipping away at your invoices? Are you getting criticized by "independent" insurance company doctors who claim that you are over treating your patients or providing them with bad advice? Are your bills being cut by some arbitrary computer program? If not, then you have nothing to change about your practice. But, if you're like most medical providers trying to provide good...

Five Reasons Why You Should Use The Law Office of PIP Collect, LLC to Litigate For You

We have found that not only is this not the case but after a couple of years some of our clients had fewer cases for us because the insurance companies were paying their bills in full! 2.

How does a $780.00 PIP claim turn into a $25,000 judgment?

The PIP insurance company paid the first $2,000 of benefits, and the chiropractor then submitted additional bills to the patient's health insurance. The health insurer declined to pay for hot and cold pack treatments, using a billing code indicating...

Coordination of Benefits

Posted by competenow

Your Patient Has Been “Cut Off” By an IME – What Do You Do Now?

Posted by competenow

in Uncategorized

So, you've been providing treatment to your patient who was in a motor vehicle accident. The patient's PIP insurer sends your patient to their insurance doctor for an "independent" medical examination. As expected, the "independent" doctor finds that the treatment has been reasonable and necessary but that the client no longer needs active care.
