DEALING WITH MEDICAL BILLING OFFICE AFTER ACCIDENT INJURY

People often require medical treatment after being injured in a car accident. Fortunately, Minnesota has great doctors, clinics and hospitals to provide first class care. Unfortunately, the medical bills and insurance issues can be complicated and difficult to sort out. This is particularly true after an accident injury. Making sure the accident medical bills are understood and paid is a large part of what our injury lawyers do.

Many people assume that our attorneys spend most of our time proving who was at fault in causing the accident. Of course, that is important. But that is only a part of what we do. In many cases, who was at fault is obvious from the beginning. Our injury lawyers actually spend more time proving what medical treatment and injuries are related to the accident, and sorting through the insurance issues. The insurance issues are often so complicated that the medical provider business office has a hard time figuring it out. And, unfortunately, the billing office can get it wrong.

WHICH INSURANCE COMPANY IS SUPPOSED TO PAY MEDICAL BILLS?

Understanding, or misunderstanding, which insurance to bill for the treatment can be confusing for a medical billing office. For example, after a car accident there may be No-Fault insurance coverage and also health insurance, and sometimes even workers compensation insurance. Which insurance to bill depends on a number of factors. In addition, who to bill can change over time.

It is important to stay calm and not get angry when dealing with the medical billing office. Try to understand that these are complicated issues. Sadly, the people dealing with the bills for the provider are only a little less confused than you are.
