Bergen County Pre-certification requirement lawyer
For patients involved in a car accident, doctors and health care providers must pre-certify certain types of medical treatment.
If pre-certification is not applied for, or if a health care professional does not properly appeal the denial of a pre-certification, the insurance company will impose penalties up to and including a complete denial of care and/or payment.
Frequently, insurance companies will contest the medical necessity of chiropractic treatment and physical therapy for injuries to the neck and back. Insurance companies also commonly contest the need for diagnostic tests such as magnetic resonance images (MRIs).
In order for a doctor to continue to treat a patient and to provide medical care without interrupting the course of treatment, let attorney Christopher J. Metcalfe help. He has navigated this complex process countless times, and he understands that insurance companies should not be allowed to compromise patient care based upon cost.
He is a lawyer who has handled many disputes concerning Decision Point Review Requirements, among the hundreds of PIP arbitration hearings he has prosecuted on behalf of health care professionals.
Health care professionals and clients in Bergen County, Hudson County and Passaic County needing an attorney who will fight for the rights of injured people should call Christopher J. Metcalfe at 201-460-3444 or contact the law office online.
