If the provider bills Medicare, the provider must accept the Medicare rates including patient responsibility amount and adjust (right off) the remainder of the bill charges. If the medical provider decides to bill the injury settlement, then the provider may file a lien to protect its interest if and as provided by state law the provider required to reduce the bill by procurement cost (pro-rata attorneys’ fees and costs), and the provider cannot charge interest, lien filing or administrative charges against the lien or the injured party. Certain individuals and organizations don’t always follow through on their responsibilities following an accident. If you’ve been involved in an accident and have questions about whether or not the correct parties were billed, we ask you call our team of experienced Phoenix accident lawyers. We’ll set the record straight.
