Q: My insurance company has written me a letter ordering me to show up at their doctor’s office to determine if they are still going to pay my PIP benefits any more. What do I do?
A: Under Florida law, the insurance company has the right to hire their own doctor to determine whether or not they should continue to pay for your medical bills under your own personal injury protection (PIP) policy. The insurance companies have certain doctors who are “hired guns” and for 99% of people they examine, these insurance hired doctors determine that little or no future medical treatment is necessary. The insurance company will then write you a letter saying that your future benefits are terminated. In many cases, the insurance company does this even when your own treating medical doctor determines that you do need future medical treatment.
