Over the past few years, I've observed that many chiropractic physicians are having difficulty obtaining payment in a timely fashion in personal injury cases.
Cases take longer to settle and attorneys are frequently asking doctors to reduce their fees.
Claims adjusters are often challenging chiropractic bills. The formula for success is really very easy to follow. First and foremost I cannot place enough emphasis upon the importance of the physician's honesty, credibility and integrity while serving the injured patient and while working with the insurance adjuster and plaintiff's attorney. Sometimes the doctor loses sight of this goal after dealing repeatedly with claims adjusters and attorneys who are confrontational. If the patient does not have an attorney, the doctor can offer the patient a short list of knowledgeable reliable attorneys that the physician has worked with in the past.
