Re: Hospital & Physician Liens Jumping to the Head of the PIP payment line?

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the example...you need to be using Mike 's "assignment rights to recovery form" which is the patient instructing their attorney to pay your bill prior to disbursing and funds to them. If its a law firm you know and trust like the Gatti & Gatti form don't bother its almost an insult to do so. But for those attorneys you don't have a history with don't know like your example....you need it. If you don't have it give me your fax and I'll fax it to you....Vern Saboe

"Hospital & Physician Liens Jumping to the Head of the PIP payment line?"

Colleagues Senate Bill 585 which your state association got passed for the profession in 2005 not only prohibits auto insurers from entering into managed care contracts it also added language that would protect us from hospital & physician liens provided we saw the patient first. I have been getting a few examples as were the PIP insures are disregarding this…..

Do any of you have a similar example as I’m in contact with the Insurance Division to clarify this matter as per the intent of the law change as the language that gives us this protection is a little convoluted?

Thanks,
