Insurance companies have a history of underpaying personal injury protection (PIP) benefits for medical services provided to treat car accident injuries. They routinely low-ball reimbursements to medical providers on account of the way Florida's no-fault insurance law works.
Although insurance policies purport to cover reasonable charges for services, Florida insurers invoke a 2007 Florida anti-fraud law to underpay for medical treatment. Often, “full-coverage” policies only pay 75% — although Florida’s appellate courts have examined that same law and held insurance companies responsible for complete coverage.
The attorneys at Ged Lawyers run revenue audits on your practice's potentially unpaid or underpaid PIP claims. We identify claims that are likely underpaid or wrongly denied.
We send a demand letter to the insurer on each claim to inform the company it has, under state law, 30 days to pay the claim in full, plus penalties and interest. Otherwise, we’ll litigate.
Our services come at no charge to medical providers. Our team gets paid from the penalty and interest fees, while medical providers receive the reclaimed payment. We employ HIPAA-compliant independent contractor agreements, technology, and methods.
The results? An enhanced cash stream to your firm.
Your accumulated PIP documents can be continually sorted into a reliable income stream, and most or all of the process can be handled remotely with HIPAA-compliant technology.
Consider the experienced attorneys at Ged Lawyers as your partner to handle underpaid and unpaid patient bills. Under Florida law, we obtain our fees from the penalties and interest collected from the insurer. Your practice receives the reimbursement you are due.
