Out Of Pocket Medical Expenses

If you must pay out of pocket for medical treatment, medication, or other medical expenses, it is good idea to keep a record with the date of those expenses were incurred, and name of the doctor who recommended or required said expenditure. Attach copies of canceled checks, receipts and bills to this record. Be sure to mail a copy to this office. ALWAYS keep a copy of anything you send or give to this office.

If you make a claim for reimbursement without attaching evidence that you paid the expenses, there can be no reimbursement.

Included with this letter is a form for you to write down your medical expenses. Please submit the reimbursement requests using this forma and by attaching copies of evidence showing that you paid these expenses.

If your claim is denied, you will not receive reimbursement until the case is determined to be compensable.

If 55 days have not passed since the reimbursement request, the payment is not late. The insurance company has 45 days to make these payments.

Due to the elimination of meaningful penalties and the inability to obtain attorney fees for a trial on mileage and expense reimbursements, if the insurance company does not pay timely, the issue of medical mileage and medical expense reimbursement will have to wait until the entire case is ready for trial.
