Should I Use My Health Insurance to go to the Doctor After an Accident?

Should I use my health insurance to go to the doctor after an accident?

After a car accident, it’s important to get medical care for your injuries as soon as possible, even if you don’t think you are injured. Sometimes injuries and pain can appear later. For instance, when the adrenaline from the accident goes away, you might notice some back or neck pain you initially didn’t realize you had. Some injuries, like concussions, are not immediately obvious, so it’s important to get checked out by a doctor after an accident.

One question you may have is whether you should use your health insurance to pay for your medical treatment.

Using Your Health Insurance for Treatment

If you have health insurance, you are most likely paying monthly premiums, copays, and deductibles. Do you know how much you have to pay before you meet your out-of-pocket maximum for the year? While your health insurance should cover the cost of your treatment just like any other injury or reason you may need to see a doctor, you shouldn’t have to pay out of pocket for injuries from an accident that wasn’t your fault. This includes copays and paying for doctor visits.

Your Personal Injury Claim and Health Insurance

Health insurance companies can make the injury claim process complicated for a layperson, because they can make a claim to apply all of the money from your injury claim to their costs. You need an experienced personal injury law firm like Carrollton Injury Law to not only help you recoup the money you have spent on your copays and deductible for injuries related to a car accident, but also to make sure the health insurance company doesn’t take all of the additional money you should be getting in your injury claim for things like lost wages from work, pain and suffering, or mental anguish.

Wonderful experience from the moment of walking in, they make you feel so welcomed. The little details of even putting your name on the whiteboard welcoming you. All along the way they keep you informed on the progress, asking detailed questions to get the full picture of your individual needs. The team you're assigned, all work together to make a stressful and scary situation easy to deal with. Kelsey, Aaron and Abraham ate the best!! Thank you again 💓.

I had an awesome experience with Hudson law firm. Everyone at the office is so nice and treated me with respect and concern from day 1. They make you feel welcomed when you go into the office. In the end they were able to get me a check even though I still have a journey ahead they were able to help compensate me for some of my pain and suffering.

No one wants to deal with the aftermath of an accident, but if you do find yourself in that situation, these folks make the experience so much easier. I felt comfortable with them from my very first meeting. They even had a welcome message for me in their lobby. They are great people to work with and I am happy with the outcome.

A law firm like such is hard to find, one that cares for their clients with such passion. I worked with them for almost 2 years. He has always been friendly, professional, helpful, and over all amazing. He was patient with my silly questions. He is beyond paralegal. I will certainly recommend this firm to others,
