Personal Injury Billing Services That Turn Accident Cases into Collected Revenue

An accident patient can be your most valuable case or your oldest receivable. The difference is in how the case is opened, documented, and followed to settlement. We bill Med Pay and liability carriers, protect your position with liens and letters of protection, and keep attorneys supplied with settlement-ready records, so your practice is paid when the case closes, not forgotten.

What Personal Injury Billing Involves,
and Why It Isn't Ordinary Insurance Billing

Personal injury billing is the work of getting paid for treating someone injured through another party's fault, most often in a car crash, a fall on someone's property, or a dog bite. Payment may come from the patient's own auto coverage, the at-fault driver's insurer, a health plan, or the settlement itself, and often from more than one of them.

That makes every PI case a sequence of decisions. Which source should be billed first? Should the visit go on a lien? What will the attorney need, and when? The answers decide whether you collect your full charge in eight weeks, a reduced amount in eighteen months, or nothing at all.

Every Route to Payment on a Nevada Injury Case,
Mapped Before Treatment

Payment sourceHow it worksWhat to watch
Medical payments (Med Pay)Optional auto coverage that pays the patient's medical bills regardless of fault, up to the policy limitLimits are often small and pay out first come, first served, so bill quickly
At-fault party's liability insurerPays as part of a settlement or judgment, usually through the patient's attorneyPayment waits for the case to resolve
Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM)The patient's own coverage when the at-fault driver has too little or noneRequires the patient's claim to be opened
Health insurancePays under the plan's normal terms, then may seek reimbursement from the settlementYour network contract may require you to bill the plan
Medicare or Nevada MedicaidPay under program rules, with recovery from the settlementStrict Medicare Secondary Payer and lien rules apply
Lien or letter of protectionYou defer payment and are paid from the settlementRequires signed paperwork and steady follow-up with the attorney
Out-of-state PIPNo-fault coverage on policies from PIP statesHas its own claim deadlines and benefit limits

Where Personal Injury
Revenue Quietly Disappears

Med Pay limits used up by other providers

because your bill went out weeks after theirs.

Treating on a lien without a signed lien or LOP,

leaving nothing enforceable when the case settles.

Attorney changes nobody noticed,

so the new firm never received your balance.

Records requests left waiting,

which stalls the demand package and the settlement with it.

Reductions accepted without negotiation,

when itemized documentation would have supported more.

Cases closed without notice,

with settlement funds already disbursed before your bill was paid.

Nevada Is an At-Fault State,
and That Changes Who Pays You

Nevada follows a fault-based auto insurance system. Drivers must carry liability coverage, and the driver who caused the crash is responsible for the injured person's medical costs. There's no mandatory no-fault coverage paying your bills shortly after the accident, so payment usually depends on one of three things: optional Med Pay, the patient's health plan, or the settlement of a liability claim.

The practical result: Nevada PI cases tend to run longer, depend more on attorneys, and reward providers who document carefully and follow up without letting go. Patients generally have two years to bring an injury claim, and some cases use most of that time.

Liens and Letters of Protection,
Done So They Hold Up at Settlement

Hospital liens.

Nevada gives hospitals a statutory lien on an injured patient's recovery under NRS 108.590 to 108.660. The lien must be perfected with a written notice, in the required form and on time, or it can be lost.

Liens for other providers.

Physicians, chiropractors, therapists, and imaging centers usually protect their balances with a signed lien agreement, or with a letter of protection (LOP) from the patient's attorney. These documents promise payment from the settlement, and they're only as strong as their wording and signatures.

We make sure every lien case has signed paperwork before treatment continues, track every balance against the case, confirm the attorney of record at regular intervals, and request a payoff before funds are disbursed. Attorney fees are generally paid before medical liens, so a timely, documented claim on the settlement matters.

PIP Billing for Patients
from No-Fault States

Nevada doesn't require personal injury protection (PIP), but your patients may still carry it. Visitors, new residents, and drivers insured in no-fault states, including neighboring Utah, bring PIP policies that pay medical bills regardless of fault.

PIP claims follow the rules of the state that issued the policy: filing deadlines, benefit limits, required forms, and examination rights. We identify PIP coverage at intake, file under the right state's rules, and move the balance to the next payer once PIP benefits run out.

Medicare,
Nevada Medicaid, and Health Plans on Injury Cases

Medicare.

Under Medicare Secondary Payer rules, you may bill the liability or Med Pay insurer first, but Medicare sets limits on how long you can wait before billing it. Once you bill Medicare, you generally can't pursue the settlement for more than Medicare allows.

Nevada Medicaid.

Providers who bill Medicaid generally accept its payment as payment in full, and Medicaid then recovers its costs from the settlement.

Health plans.

If you're in a patient's network, your contract may require you to bill the plan rather than hold a lien. The plan may then seek reimbursement from the settlement.

Choosing the wrong route can cost you the balance, or put you out of compliance. We check every case against these rules before the first bill goes out.

Not sure whether to bill Med Pay, the health plan, or a lien?

Personal Injury Billing Services
Built Around the Life of a Case

A PI case can stay open for a year or more. Our work follows it from the first visit to the final payoff.

Case intake and coverage discovery

At the first visit, we capture the date and type of accident, the attorney, claim numbers, and every possible payer: Med Pay, liability, UM/UIM, health plan, Medicare, Medicaid, or out-of-state PIP.

Payment route decision

We decide, with your approval, whether each case should bill Med Pay, a health plan, PIP, or be treated on a lien, based on coverage, your contracts, and Medicare and Medicaid rules.

Lien and LOP management.

We prepare lien agreements, collect signed letters of protection, perfect hospital liens on time, and keep every document tied to the case file.

Accurate coding and itemized billing.

Certified coders assign CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-10-CM codes, including injury and external-cause codes, and produce itemized statements that stand up to an adjuster's or attorney's review.

Med Pay and PIP claim submission.

We bill these first-party benefits immediately, before other providers use up the limits.

Attorney coordination.

We confirm the attorney of record, send balance updates, answer records requests promptly, and log every contact, so your balance is part of every demand package.

Records and settlement packages.

We assemble itemized bills, ledgers, medical records, and custodian-of-records affidavits when attorneys need them for demands or trial.

Reduction negotiation.

When an attorney asks for a reduction at settlement, we present your documentation and negotiate within limits you set. No reduction is accepted without your approval.

Payoff and posting.

We confirm the final payoff, post the payment, reconcile the balance, and close the case cleanly.

Reporting.

You get a monthly report of open PI cases by age, attorney, and expected payment source, with a list of cases nearing settlement.

They cover the full PI cycle: coverage discovery, choosing the payment route, Med Pay and PIP claims, lien and LOP management, itemized billing, attorney coordination, records and settlement packages, reduction negotiation, and final payoff.

A personal injury biller manages the billing and follow-up on accident cases: billing first-party coverage, tracking liens and letters of protection, keeping attorneys updated, and collecting at settlement. We give you a team that does this work, under one named account manager.

No. Nevada is an at-fault state and doesn't require personal injury protection. Patients insured in no-fault states may carry PIP, and we bill it under the rules of the state that issued the policy.

It depends on your network contracts, the patient's coverage, and Medicare or Medicaid rules. In-network contracts often require billing the plan. We review each case before choosing a route.

A letter of protection is a written promise, usually from the patient's attorney, to pay your bill from the settlement. It lets you treat without upfront payment. It should be signed before ongoing treatment begins.

Med Pay and PIP can pay within weeks. Lien cases often take many months, sometimes more than a year, until the case settles. Steady attorney follow-up keeps your balance in every settlement discussion.

Yes, it's common at settlement. We negotiate using your itemized records and accept a reduction only with your approval.

Most billing companies charge a percentage of what they collect. Our rate is 4–5% of net collections, with no setup fee. On lien cases, we're paid when you are.
