PIP Arbitration/Reimbursement
PIP Arbitration and Reimbursement
New Jersey’s Personal Injury Protection auto insurance system can be confusing, frustrating, and costly for all health care providers. The Bergwall Law Firm is here to help you navigate this complex system at absolutely no cost to you, EVER.
The firm has reached seven figure settlements for providers in PIP and medical collections.
If you are a doctor or medical provider, our lawyers can help you receive payment for services rendered to patients under the New Jersey's no-fault auto insurance laws and through the Forthright Solutions (formerly the National Arbitration Forum) PIP arbitration process.
Pre-certification of Medical Treatment: Patients, doctors, and/or providers must pre-certify certain types of medical treatment for patients injured in automobile accidents. Failure to pre-certify or properly appeal the denial of pre-certification may result in the insurance company denying payment. Frequently, insurance companies will contest the medical necessity of chiropractic treatment and physical therapy for injuries to the neck and back. Insurance companies also commonly contest the need for diagnostic tests, such as MRIs and EMG/NCV studies. Our lawyers can help doctors and providers navigate this complex area of the law.
Forthright: After an insurance company denies payment for services rendered to patients injured in automobile accidents, patients, doctors and medical providers may file an Arbitration Demand with Forthright Solutions This is not a lawsuit but rather, it is a formal request for Forthright to appoint an arbitrator to resolve the dispute between the provider and the insurance company. This forum is a litigation forum which is in lieu of costly litigation in Superior Court. The arbitrators are licensed attorneys who have experience in PIP arbitrations and dispute resolution. The decisions of the arbitrators are binding on both sides of the dispute. Our lawyers have successfully represented doctors and providers in PIP arbitrations for over 10 years.
