Good afternoon Texas drivers and friends! Has an Insurance company ever asked you to SIGN A MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION?📝

This is a common tactic Insurance companies use very early on in your car accident case. Here are a couple reasons why they do it🕵️‍♂️:

1. To talk to your Doctors about your injuries
2. To request your medical records and bills
3. To request your prior medical records
4. To start the process of paying your medical bills at reduced costs

Some may ask “Well why is any of this a bad thing?”…..

You have to understand, the primary goal of the insurance company is to save money on your accident claim, and if they get to look under the “hood” of all your medical records and bills you give them an advantage in doing that.

They want to project discouragement in your Doctors so they don’t treat too much where they are concerned their bills may not be paid. That is actually one reason why a lot of Doctors will encourage their clients to talk to a Lawyer.

They want to be able to analyze your records closely to start to project discouragement in you along the way to get you to slow down on treatment.

They want to request your prior records to see if they can convince you that you may have already had the injuries you are claiming in the accident and so you should stop trying to pursue treatment for them because the bill may not be paid.

And most importantly to them, they want to pay your medical bills at a reduced cost which not only takes value away from your case because now your bills are lower, but it also takes any leverage you have to reduce your own medical bills at the proper time.

When you work with an experienced Car Accident Lawyer they will make sure they focus on your full car accident settlement before paying medical bills. Then, once they have the best possible offer on your case, they can go back to the medical providers to discuss reducing your bills to put more money in your pocket.
