Auto & Work Related Injuries
|
Auto & Work Related Injuries also known as Personal Injury Protection (PIP) covers medical expenses when an injury arises out of the maintenance or use of a motor vehicle. Medical expenses are reasonable charges for necessary medical treatment and rehabilitative services. This coverage takes precedence over your health insurance and is a mandatory coverage on your automobile policy.
Personal injury protection is the term used to describe benefits in states, including Pennsylvania, that have mandatory no-fault auto insurance coverage. People involved in auto accidents in Pennsylvania, regardless of who is at fault, are eligible to receive natural health care services including chiropractic and massage therapy, as well as other health services related to the injuries occurred during the accident. The legal term for personal injury describes any harmful injury to your body including both physical and emotional. Personal injury claims are often filed for compensation of medical expenses associated with the injuries you sustain. Claims could be filed for a variety of different accidents such as auto, workplace, product defect as well as assault, industrial disease, asbestosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and more. |

Can I go to any medical provider? Yes, provided that the individual medical provider is licensed in the state where the treatment is being rendered and the treatment is performed within the provider's specialty. Doctors of Chiropractic qualify for coverage under PIP. A certified massage therapist will also qualify if he or she is supervised by a medical doctor or a chiropractor. Will PIP coverage pay the entire bill? The amount paid to providers is calculated under the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law. Once the provider accepts this payment, the provider may not bill the patient or the insurance company for any amount not paid. This, of course, is limited to the amount of PIP coverage you have. Pennsylvania law provides for a minimum $5,000.00 in PIP coverage, but you can opt for a higher amount when you get your insurance. |
