Will My Health Insurance Pay for My Medical Bills After a Car Accident in Georgia
As an Atlanta Injury lawyer, this question gets asked of me repeatedly so I will write a brief post on this here. Yes, your health insurance will pay for medical care incurred as a result of a car accident so long as 1) the non emergency care is in network, 2) you provide confirmation to your health insurer that you did not have Georgia medical payments insurance or it was exhausted, 3) you actually give the medical providers your health insurance information in a timely fashion. The bottom line is submit the bills to the health insurer and make sure you give the hospital your health insurance information up front or in the days following.
Will you have to reimburse your health insurance company in Georgia? Probably. The loopholes are getting smaller and smaller but it basically boils down to whether you are still insured with them and whether they are a self funded plan or not.
As an Atlanta injury lawyer and Atlanta trucking lawyer I can tell you that the key to succesfull coordination of benefits for a case with serious injuries is to bring the attorney into the case in the early stages so you do not make irreversible mistakes.
