Hi, I'm new to the board. I don't even know if I am on the right topic. Three years ago, my husband and I were in auto accidents which, by the advice of our attorney, had a chiropractor treat us for most of our injuried. Our cases have since settled, and the chiropractor got most of our PIP and claims we went over that amount by a few thousand dollars! We were never notified until we were that far over and then he refused further treatment. Fine by us, since he didn't do anything for us. Now, he has filed civil complaints for the supposed amount we went over, even though he got most of our PIP. How can a doctor allow a bill to go that much over without taking into consideration that maybe the patient won't be able to pay?? He never told us we were that much over until he had to (after many attempts by our attorney) send a copy of our bills to our lawyer. We are scheduled to go to civil court on Thursday in which he is asking for the full amount of this bill plus interest. We cannot afford to pay any of this. I also might add that we would not have let our bills exceed our PIP if we had known we had gone over. Our bills exceed our income as it is and cannot afford even a payment plan. He was offered a settlement to pay him 50% of what we owed him at the time of our settlements which he refused. Please help.
