Health Insurer Failed to Reimburse Your Practice?
The Johnson Firm represents Physicians, Hospitals, and other Health Care Professionals and Health Care Facilities against Insurers that refuse to pay as promised.
Health care providers work hard to provide their patients the very best of care only to have their fees drastically cut by insurance companies that use untrained personnel to determine whether the medical services provided were reasonable or necessary. After denying many of the charges as unnecessary, these untrained clerical workers then decide that the rates for the rest of the services are too high. Doctors and other health care professionals end up with little left over after paying their overhead, salaries, and for expensive medical equipment.
The Johnson Firm is particularly experienced and proficient in pursuing claims on behalf of physicians and physician groups against insurers that fail to pay as agreed. Health care in this country is already subject to the stranglehold of insurance carriers that restrict charges and fees for medical care to the point that physicians and hospitals cannot afford to provide the service without losing money. Then insurers refuse to pay what little they have promised. If you are a physician, physicians’ group, hospital, or other health care provider or health care facility, call Price Johnson at The Johnson Firm to look at your case. We handle these cases on a contingency basis, meaning it costs you nothing unless and until you recover what you are owed.
The Johnson Firm also represents Doctors, Hospitals, and Provider Groups in Business and Professional Disputes, including contract disputes involving physician recruiting agreements and managed care contracts.
Unfair Insurance Practices
You spend most of your life paying insurance premiums for your home, business, life, disability, and most of your major assets. You expect the insurance company to finally pay should you ever have a claim. The insurance company has a different idea. When you finally have a claim against your insurance company, insurance companies hold a big advantage over their insured. The insured does not normally think about the claim process until a loss occurs. Because people and even business executives typically don’t understand the detailed policy coverage, exclusions and interpretations, they are usually bullied by the carrier's interpretation and settlement offer. As a result, the insured often ends up settling for much less than what the policy provides.
DENY – DELAY – DEFEND: This is the insurance company’s mission statement. Whether it is a car wreck, business interruption insurance, hurricane, or other catastrophe, the insurance company will deny your claim and try to make you believe your claim is not covered or is excluded under the policy. If you fight back, then the insurance company simply delays until weeks turn into months and months into years so that you will just go away. Only when you hire an attorney can you force the insurance company to pay attention. Even then, they will hire attorneys to defend against your claim. With tough, smart, aggressive counsel on your side, you can win. You may even be entitled to recover your attorneys’ fees and make the insurance company pay exemplary damages for their bad acts. You may also be entitled to interest on your loss.
