How do I Pay for My Medical Treatment?

There may be several means through which you can fund your medical treatment. If you are part of a group health program or otherwise have health insurance, that is your first resource. If the automobile in which you were riding at the time of the accident or the one that you were driving includes “medical expense benefits” as part of the coverage, that is also available as a resource to you. That coverage generally can best be used to pay your “deductible” that is not funded by your health carrier if you are so insured. If you were in the course of your employment at the time of the accident, your employer’s workers’ compensation carrier should pay for your medical expenses. Ultimately, if the negligence of the other driver caused your injuries, you will be able to recover your losses including your medical expenses from that driver’s insurer.
