Q: “I have an important question. ...Every single time when it’s time to settle a case, the attorney or the client they always expect our office to take a cut. ... Do we have to take a cut? It’s too much already. Nobody like to work for free, what are our rights?”
Answer:
- Too many DC’s have given up and assume that to do PI they must always reduce their liens.
- This becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
- The DC that takes a stand and clears up any future misunderstanding needs to talk to the PI attorney when the patient is brand new.
- The DC explains his approach:
- All new PI’s must pay a reasonable co-pay –between $10 to $20 dollars
- All PI’s are told in advance they must pay the balance no matter what the case outcome.
- That the DC will never consider a reduction unless the attorney cuts his fee, with other providers and the patient’s expectations are reasonable.
