💳 Paying for Your NC Treatments

• 🚗 Auto Insurance – Direct billing to your auto insurance company
• ⚖️ Attorney Liens – We can arrange payment through your personal-injury attorney so you don’t pay upfront
• (Note: Unlike some states, North Carolina does not have a “PIP / No-fault” system for auto accidents, the at-fault driver’s liability and associated coverage apply.)

Important: Under North Carolina law, medical providers treating you after a car accident may claim a medical lien against any settlement you receive. For example, a medical provider’s lien may be enforced only if they properly “perfect” it (e.g., furnishing required records free of charge) under N.C.G.S. § 44-49.
These liens are legally capped at a portion of your recovery — generally no more than 50 % of your settlement (after attorney’s fees) may go to medical-provider liens.

💡 Notes on Insurance & Coverage in North Carolina

• North Carolina is a fault-based auto insurance state: the at-fault driver’s liability coverage is key.
• If you’re involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver, you may still have options, but it can complicate medical coverage.
• Immediately after an accident, seeing a accident doctor helps establish the link between the crash and your injuries, delaying care may affect your claim.
