Guest guest Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Can you all help me with a LOP ,letter of protection situation? I never take LOP , but a referral from a friend so I did. Have signed lop and 10 treatments into treatment pt fired atty and is switching to another, sent him new lop and have not heard from pt or new attny since they said they would sign it and return it. If I never hear from either, what are my options? Who pays bill? This is why I have stayed away from these.. guess my LOP should have this situation spelled out? Does anyone have a good LOP they like and use? Any advice would be appreciated irstackedsig3 Mark Niles PT, MS, CSCS Integrated Rehab.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Mark I would not hesitate with this one. I would print a patient statement out and immediately send the bill to the patient with a copy to their attorney demanding payment in full. I would send an explanation letter stating that you provided a service in good faith and because they have either neglected to sign the letter or refused to due so, you expect payment (or a payment plan) to commence immediately. If they want to reconsider and sign the LOP, you can suspend collections at this time. If that gets no response, I would send a demand letter and then follow through with a collection agency if need be. This may sound harsh, but you did the work, you should get paid and the bottom line is-the liability for the claim should not be your responsibility.
