My name is Mack Jones and I’m a personal injury attorney here in Phoenix, Arizona at Jones Raczkowski PC. You’ve been injured and now you’re receiving bills and typically you’re going to continue receiving bills and you’re going to receive repeated medical bills from the same provider. That is stressful, no matter who you are. There are ways that we at Jones Raczkowski can help.

First, you should process your bills as you normally would. If you have group health, process them through group health.

Second, if they will be included in any potential claim that is made on your behalf, as against the purported defendant, reclaim the face amount of the bills, not the reduced amount of the bills. Not your copay, not your deductible. The face amount of what the bill was as asserted by the provider.

Third, only attorneys practicing in premises liability generally are going to have an awareness. And particularly in premises liability there may be medical payments coverage available simply because you fell on somebody else’s property. That’s not fault-based insurance. It’s no-fault based insurance and it’s called medical payments, and it can be up to $5000 or $10000 just because you fell on somebody else’s property. But you need an attorney, typically, to find out whether that coverage exists. If that coverage does exist, we’ll get that coverage for you and we won’t charge a fee on that. Call us at Jones Raczkowski PC, 602-840-8787.
