How are Accident Doctors in High Point Paid?
All High Point accident doctors listed on our website take a couple of different forms of payments. One thing to remember is you never have pay out of your own pocket. Many patients simply cannot to pay for treatment, and they shouldn’t have to. It’s the responsibility of the at-fault insurance company. However, if you live in a no fault or pip state, your own auto insurance is responsible of paying your medical bills. Some patients who are really hurt, never see an accident doctor for fear of medical bills. This could not be further than the truth, we require no money from you to start treatment.
Auto insurance
Many victims think we can just bill the at-fault carrier for their treatment, this is not the case. What we can do though is bill the auto insurance carrier if you have no fault, pip, or med pay.
PIP or personal injury protection and no-fault insurance
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is coverage that you carry on your own insurance policy. This coverage pays for more than just medical treatment though. In some states it pays for lost wages, funeral expenses, rehabilitation, and more. It also pays for you and anyone in your car at the time of the accident, no matter who was at-fault. So even if you were found at fault, you can still see a physician for treatment. Your accident doctor can help you fill out and file the paperwork.
Med Pay or medical payments
Med Pay is an option on your own insurance policy, and it covers medical treatment and expenses for you and anyone in your car up to the policy amount. You can use med pay even if you were at fault for the accident. It covers ER visits, imaging services, hospital and treatments. Your accident doctor is very knowledgeable about med pay and can help you file all the necessary paperwork. Med pay is not mandatory anywhere in the United States, it’s an add on option that most insurance carriers never even educate you on.
Attorneys’ lien
This is by far the most common way in High Point that accident doctors are paid for their services. This is an agreement that will allow the provider to receive payment for their services directly from the settlement proceeds in a personal injury case. This helps the provider treat the personal injury patient with no upfront cost to the patient. The attorney will pay the accident doctor directly from the proceeds when he settles the personal injury case. All of our North Carolina accident doctors will take attorney liens, they just might not take them from certain attorneys.
What our High Point car accident doctors do to help you
Our physicians do a lot to help people who have been hurt in accidents. I have personally seen a doctor that saw a patient even though she was at fault for the accident and had no money to pay him. Furthermore, he did not expect her to pay him. We love these types of doctors who don’t care about the money, just trying to help someone out. Of course, we all need to make money, but he was looking at the bigger picture. That lady will always remember who helped her out, and when a friend or family member has an accident, she will tell them where to go.

How soon should I see the auto accident doctor in High Point
As soon as possible if you are hurt. We always say see the doctor within 72 hours. However, that’s not always the case. Our lives are busy and taking time out of your work week to go get checked out for what you think is a slight injury may not be possible.

Our doctors will be able to do an evaluation and establish that your injury did come from your accident. The sooner you come in; the sooner you will feel better. Your documentation of your personal injury starts the first day of treatment.
Accident Doctors Document your injury for your attorney
To have a personal injury case, your attorney needs something from a doctor stating that you were injured in a car accident. This comes in the form of documentation. Documentation is the foundation of a personal injury case, and without it, you really don’t have a case. Documentation knowledge comes from years of treating personal injury cases. It’s not taught in any school. Its experience and expertise from accident doctors that make this documentation your evidence of injury. Not all doctors can do this, let’s take your primary care physician as an example.
Primary care physicians
In the old days, and i mean about 20 years ago, primary care physicians would not even see you if you were involved in a car accident. Some would want money up front, or just flat out tell you we don’t treat personal injury patients. I can only assume it’s because their billing structure was set up for health insurance, and most health insurance companies won’t pay for accident treatment. They certainly are not going to do an attorney’s lien. There have been a few cases that i personally did see health insurance pay for treatment related to a car accident. However, they filed a lien and wanted their money back.
Primary care doctors are great physicians, and we need them. They are focused on internal medicine and usually refer patients out to more specialized care in the event you need that type of care. However, they don’t provide the best documentation for a personal injury case.
