💳 How an Doctor May Bill for Your Auto Injury Treatment

What to do after an accident in Arkansas

Depending on your insurance coverage and legal situation, your doctor may use one or more of the following billing methods:

  • ⚖️ Attorney’s Lien – The most common option. Your doctor agrees to wait for payment until your case settles, working directly with your attorney.
  • 🧾 Medical Lien – Similar to an attorney’s lien, but handled directly between you and the medical provider.
  • 💼 Third-Party Billing – Occasionally used when billing the at-fault driver’s insurance, though this is rare in Arkansas.
  • 🚘 Direct Auto Insurance Billing – Some providers may bill your insurance company directly if allowed under your policy.
  • 💵 MedPay (Medical Payments Coverage) – Optional coverage that pays your medical bills regardless of fault.
  • 🩺 PIP (Personal Injury Protection) – Arkansas does not require PIP, but if added to your policy, it functions like MedPay and covers your medical expenses after an accident.

Since the law does not require PIP, it’s a smart idea to talk with your insurance agent about adding Med Pay coverage for extra protection.
