Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Rick Each state has a different set of laws on the books. That said, it would be in a clinic's best interest to have a lien letter (graced off on by an attorney knowing their state laws) signed by the patient prior to (or shortly after) the start of care. Once they have signed it, this letter needs to be mailed to their attorney. We have had great success on behalf of our clients in collecting 100% of gross charges in many cases. The only time a clinic collects less is if they agree to that with the attorney as they settle the case (for less than expected). We have instructed our clients that they can balance bill the patient for anything less than the billed amount, but most decide not to do that. Jim <///>< Attorney Lien Cases For those of you who take attorney lien cases, what is your average reimbursement per visit once the case settles? What is your bottom amount that you try to achieve? What have been some of your barriers in settling a case with attorneys? If you would prefer, you can email me directly at rick@... Thank you in advance.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Group, We have updated our LOP letters. We no longer accept the letter from the attorney, we require the attorney to sign ours. Basic stipulations. No fee reductions pay in full, if not settled in 2 years then patient and/or attorney must start making payments. One attorney stated that our letter was in violation of the rules of the state bar association. We are Physical Therapists and the state bar is not our governing body.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Doug et. al. - When I had several clinics and operated several others for another group, we used to have the patient sign a letter directing their attorney to pay us first and in full from any settlement, acknowledging in writing that cases almost never settle for as much as they would have initially hoped to get. The same letter also placed a lien on personal assets. This came about after a few calls from attorneys saying " We got less than we expected, so would you accept a discounted amount? " When we commented that we are like the electric company, did not accept the case on contingency, and expect to be paid in full, one attorney said, " Then you may get nothing! " To an attorney, you are just another negotiation adversary, not a compassionate humanitarian. Another patient, having settled for a reduced amount without our knowledge, had bought a car, and subsequently had no remaining resources to pay us. We sent them a Form 1099 " Miscellaneous Income " for the full amount. We did not get paid, but the IRS never goes away.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 No secret to it. You just gotta stick to it. I attached and sent to you and Ken. Hope it helps. BTW....the attorneys hate it and you may lose some cases but that's okay. Their letters leave you hanging in the wind. Matt Capo, PT Accelerated Physical Therapy and Occupational Health, Inc.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hello, Would it be possible that I could also get a copy of your letter. I have also had difficulty collecting on these types of patients. I have felt that we are held hostage by the attorneys and would like be able to fight them at their own game.
