Recovery of Bill Review Reductions
Bill review reductions, are compensable and recoverable
with our unique techniques. If your bills have been reduced by a third
party review company and partial payment was recommended and remitted,
don't worry! We have been very
successful in recovering the balance reduction.
Recovery After Award
All awards are calendared to ensure prompt payment. Follow-up
action is taken, as needed, including obtaining penalties and interest when appropriate
and Petition for Certified Enforcement of Award.
Penalties and Interest
GIRGIS & ASSOCIATES, INC., will file the
appropriate petition with the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board for 10% penalty & 7-10%
interest on your lien according to the Division of Industrial Accident Rules &
Regulations.
Compromise & Release
When case(s) are settled by direct payment from the
employer's carrier to the injured worker or his/her representative attorney, quite often
the only means of payment to the lien claimant is from the carrier directly. All too often
a second round of fee negotiations results. Especially if the lien is disposed of by
(C&R) the Judge may reduce a lien. If this procedure is appropriate, one must know how
to compute the potential case value using the current applicable law. UNLESS CASE
VALUES ARE CHALLENGED PROPERLY, LIENS MAY BE IMPROPERLY REDUCED OR ELIMINATED. By
allowing GIRGIS & ASSOCIATES, INC., to process your claim the
Hospital/Medical Provider's staff is free of this consuming and unnecessary additional
negotiation and risk.
