Medical Billing (MCLE)

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of Howell’s impact on medical billing and the lien process related to medical damages in personal injury cases. Specifically, participants will understand

1. How the Howell v. Hamilton Meats Co. decision limits past but not future medical expenses;
2. How the ‘Howell’ charts are used in determining the amounts due for past medical expenses and the cautions in applying the same principles to future medical expenses; and
3. The management and recovery processes used by experienced companies such as Rawlings for subrogation and lien resolution.

Questions are strongly encouraged to help guide our discussion.
