Depending on your personal health insurance coverage, you may or may not need to pay certain amounts out of pocket to see a car accident orthopedic doctor. You can discuss this specifically with your primary care physician when you attend your initial appointment so that you can more clearly understand what you might be responsible for. Any and all expenses and other details associated with attending your medical appointments, such as your mileage and time took off work should all be recorded in a journal by you so you can reflect back on this information in the future. These may become important sources of evidence in your personal injury claim.
