Whether your patient was involved in an accident or you’re now taking him to court to collect an unpaid bill, there’s a chance that your patient is represented by legal counsel. As much as your patient’s lawyer may try to convince you that you have no right to collect your payment, or tries to get you to hold off on collecting with a “letter of protection” or similar agreement, the truth is that having a lawyer in the picture doesn’t have to screw up your revenue cycle. We’ll teach you how to get the money your agency is legally entitled to when your patient has a lawyer, and help you separate fact from legal baloney in the process.
