Doctors or patients have rescheduled elective surgeries, and many doctors are urging patients to reschedule surgeries to hospitals not overloaded with COVID-19 cases. Depending on the nature of the surgery, you may face some delays. If this happens, it’s vital to stay in constant communication with your healthcare provider. You should also be documenting any pain and symptoms while waiting for your rescheduled appointment. As with any accident, it’s crucial to complete all necessary treatment before your case closes.
Receiving medical treatment is crucial to your claim’s value. If you haven’t been billed for medical treatment, your attorney can’t correctly add that expense to your claim. They’ll only be able to present the insurance company with an estimate of your medical costs. Insurance companies rarely take estimations into account.
