Not sure what state your in, but a couple of things I've been told and learned. 1. GET A PSYCH ALLOWANCE!!! Psych Allowances are the real settlement determinator. When you go to psych consult, don't ever ever ever bring up that your pissed off that your broke, or the system is broke... Your upset, depressed, etc because you feel like a pos that you got hurt, and that you don't feel like a man/woman in your own home anymore.
2. Start going to the Dr. or ER for ANYTHING that hurts with the claim. If your just a monthly charge to 1 dr for an office visit and scripts, that's not very scary. They can afford the $100 maybe a month in medical bills for you. And the fact that patheitic 66% bs isn't that much, it pays them to do nothing. You start having MRI's, Catscans, Xrays, Ambulance and ER visits, 9 different types of treatment, that adds up and starts a pattern of real money. All these people know is money. They don't care that we worked for their represented company. We are a liability and they want to get the maximum return they can.
3. Finally, if you have an MCO calling you, advise them to contact your AOR for any and all questions or comments. This scares them also because it establishes the fact that you are no longer willing to play their game, and that you have an attorney that is going to earn their 33%.... Hope it works out for you.
