HB 837 - What Should I Do, Abe?

Start preparing for lower reimbursements on average. Reduce your overhead, save money, and send me all your PIP suits.
HB 837 - Did the Statute of Limitations change?
Просмотров 49Год назад
All negligence (MVA’s/Slip Falls) must be settled or a lawsuit filed within TWO years. It has always been four years. All PIP suits still have FIVE years to be settled or filed. This remains unchanged.
HB 837 - What about he-said/she-said cases where liability is 50/50?
Просмотров 115Год назад
Under the old law, if someone was 99% at-fault for an accident, they could still pursue a case against the other person who was 1% at-fault. Under the new law, if a jury decides someone is 51% at-fault for “his or her own harm” they may not recover any money for their injuries. Motorcyclists not wearing helmets, people who didn’t wear a seatbelt, pedestrians crossing a street outside a crosswal...
HB 837 - Are LOP's affected?
Просмотров 118Год назад
Not really. The original version of HB 837 would have only allowed a jury to hear what Medicare would pay. It did not allow the jury t hear what the doctor billed. The final version that was signed into law tells the jury both (a) the doctor’s full bill and (b) what 120% of Medicare will pay/170% of Medicaid if not covered by Medicare. Also, if the patient has health insurance, a jury will hear...
HB 837 - Proposal Settlement Law Thoughts
Просмотров 155Год назад
My friend says there is a Proposal for Settlement Law that says the carrier will pay attorney fees if you win the lawsuit. What do you think about that? The Proposal for Settlement law only awards attorney fees after you make a written offer 90 days after serving the lawsuit, obtain a judgment (which could include a trial), and you must get awarded at least 25% more money than the written offer...
HB 837 - What do you think insurance companies will do to take advantage of this new law?
Просмотров 272Год назад
First off, not every company is going to take full advantage of the law. Some will abuse it. Others will stay the status quo. IME Cut-offs/Peer Reviews: I think you can expect a lot more IME cut-offs. They have to pay the 200% Medicare rate for services that are reasonable, related, and necessary. If they start cutting-off chiropractic care at the 30 day mark and there are no attorney fees to “...
HB 837 - Do insurance companies still need to pay 200% of Medicare fee schedule?
Просмотров 85Год назад
Yes. Nothing has changed with the fee schedule. There was a part in the law that would basically allow insurance companies to reimburse 100% Medicare rates for LOPs but that did not make it into the final version of the law.
HB 837 - Who will help me collect?
Просмотров 100Год назад
Let's say a chiropractor billed $12,000, was paid $5,000 so far, and is owed another $2,000 based on the fee schedule. Will Ovadia Law help me collect the $2,000? Unless it is a “total coverage denial of claim” then there are no attorney fees. This means it is not possible to collect the $2,000 for you on a contingency. I will still send a demand letter to see if they pay. If they don’t pay, th...
HB 837
Просмотров 225Год назад
This new law does not affect any PIP policies purchased on or before 3/24/23 - There are still attorney fees- which means doctors will be paid what they are owed. Section 29 of HB 837 is very clear. So if someone purchased a six month policy on 3/24/23 and got in an accident four months later then doctors will get paid from PIP with no problem because attorney fees are the hammer to keep the in...
HB 837 - Are EMC's affected?
Просмотров 56Год назад
No. You still need an EMC to obtain more than $2,500 from PIP. Make sure that you don’t work with MRI centers that give you an EMC as part of the MRI report. Insurance companies are suing some of these MRI centers for a “kick back” (ie send me your MRIs and I will give you an extra $7,500 in coverage). Point is, if a carrier doesn’t like your EMC or thinks it is invalid, they won’t pay more tha...
