Workers’ Compensation (WC) Collection for Medical Providers

Minevich Law Group, P.C. represents healthcare medical providers in reimbursement disputes with workers’ compensation carriers. We have successfully resolved New York workers’ compensation arbitration administrative award requests and New Jersey compensation litigation actions on behalf of physicians, among various other medical providers. Medical providers treat patients who have been injured at work and thus must hope for reimbursement from less-than-responsive workers’ compensation insurance carriers. These injured workers certainly require treatment. However, workers’ compensation carriers are even more reluctant to pay for medical providers’ services appropriately. This is where our expertise comes in. Our New York and New Jersey workers’ compensation lawyers have successfully resolved many workers’ compensation claims on behalf of medical providers. 

New York Workers’ Compensation Collection for Medical Providers

In New York, medical providers face significant hurdles and challenges trying to obtain payment from workers’ compensation carriers, especially when medical providers bill “By Report” (BR) procedure codes where the relative value units are unknown. Payments for such procedure codes need to be justified “by report.” When a BR procedure code is involved, workers’ compensation carriers crosswalk such a code to a “similar” code that has designated relative value units under the New York Workers’ Compensation Medical Fee Schedule. Svetlana Minevich, the Founder, Shareholder, and Principal Attorney at Minevich Law Group, P.C., has successfully obtained closer or equal to billed charges for “By Report” codes, which is beyond what is dictated by the New York Workers’ Compensation Medical Fee Schedule. 
 
We have extensive knowledge of collection procedures and administrative expertise to ensure efficient and best results in the healthcare industry. It is important to note that these collection remedies are time-sensitive and have to follow specific timelines set forth by the NY Workers’ Compensation Board.

New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Collection for Medical Providers

Unlike in New York, New Jersey workers’ compensation law entitles medical providers to be paid at their usual, customary, and reasonable (UCR) rate for treating workers’ compensation patients, which may or may not be at medical providers’ billed charges. However, insurance carriers cheat medical providers of what they are rightfully owed by unjustifiably accusing them of overbilling, improper billing, or overtreating patients. 
 
Medical provider, worry not! New Jersey workers’ compensation law provides recourse for unpaid and underpaid medical providers. 
 
Workers’ compensation or workman’s compensation litigation actions are commenced with the New Jersey Division of Workers’ Compensation on behalf of medical providers. It is imperative to gather details related to the work injury, such as date(s) of treatment, the date of the accident, etc. Let our NJ workers’ compensation attorneys at Minevich Law Group, P.C. help you be paid appropriately for your services. Don’t let insurance carriers get away with unfair payment practices.
