Answers to Personal Injury, Wrongful Death, and Car Accident Questions
Q: How Are My Medical Bills Going to Be Paid After I Was Injured in an Accident?
A: Medical bills can be very costly, and sometimes you just don't have enough money or are not insured to cover the payment. Yet, you still need to receive the medical treatment following an accident and you did not ask for someone else’s carelessness and negligence to injure you.
However, there are many things a person can do to help with payment relief. One idea is to apply for charity programs, which are available at most hospitals. If you are suitable for the grant, the payment of the medical fees will be recalculated. Another idea would be to apply for MediCal or MediCare for health care coverage. Unfortunately, all of these programs require that your income don’t exceed a certain level.
The best way, though, to get your medical bills paid and to receive the health care you need if you do not have insurance, is to work with your personal injury attorney to help locate and work with doctors, dentists, surgeons, and chiropractors who provide care “on a lien”. Under this payment arrangement, the patient remains responsible for paying the full amount of a doctor’s medical bill. However, the doctor will hold off on collecting your medical bill until your case is over and it has been settled or you have received a judgment from the Court.
