Health Insurance

If you have health insurance, all of your bills for treatment relating to your injuries, should be submitted to the health insurer. This can be done by you or directly by the medical providers involved. It is your obligation and it is in your best interest to talk directly with each of the medical providers about submitting your bills to your health plan. You will need to provide each of the medical providers with the pertinent information, including name of the health plan, policy number, and other relevant data. Do not assume that health providers will automatically bill your health plan; it is your responsibility to talk with them about it and make sure they do. Medical payment insurance through your automobile insurance carrier should be used only after your health plan has paid all it will pay with regard to the bills submitted. Do not give those medical providers who might be paid by your health plan, information regarding your medical payment coverage through your auto insurance carrier, until after they have submitted bills to and received a response from your health plan. It is in your best interest to save the medical payment coverage to cover those things the health plan will not cover. At the proper time, it is once again your responsibility to submit claims to the medical payment insurer, or to make sure the medical providers who have not been fully paid by your health plan, do so. It is not the responsibility of the law firm to deal with these health insurance or medical payment coverage issues. We will however, provide advice and assistance to you as necessary, upon your request
