Michigan No-Fault Medical Provider Lawyer

Michigan No-Fault Medical Provider Attorney

If you’re a medical provider who handles automobile injury cases, it may be time to hire your own team of personal injury attorneys to make sure you get paid. A Michigan no-fault medical provider lawyer from Wigod & Falzon can help ensure you receive the compensation you are entitled to for the services you provide.

What Are Michigan’s No-Fault Benefits?

As you know, those who have been injured in an automobile accident are legally entitled to collect No-Fault benefits under the personal protection insurance coverage of their auto insurance policy.

These benefits provide these valuable protections to assist in recovery:

• Medical care expenses
• Medical mileage
• Wage loss
• Replacement services
• Attendant care
• Home modifications
• Vehicle modifications

What Are Medical Provider Rights Under This Law?

In 2017, the Michigan Supreme Court handed down a decision called Covenant Medical Center versus State Farm. This held that medical providers didn’t have the right to sue a no-fault insurer.

However, the major no-fault overhaul in 2019 changed everything; now, under the no-fault law, medical providers have the right yet again to sue the no-fault insurance provider directly.

These providers handling auto no-fault claims in Michigan can now receive unpaid no-fault medical services in the name of their organization, instead of through an assignment of benefits from a patient.

Bottom line: it’s no longer necessary to wait for your insurance to pay you (or take the risk of not getting paid at all) when your patient has an insurance representative that may only pay the bills they feel are important.
