Vendors Billing Workers’ Compensation Claimants: Now – A Solution!

Description

Vendors Billing Workers’ Compensation Claimants: Now – A Solution! – Friday, November 18, 2022 at noon.

So frequently, health care providers send their billing directly to a workers’ compensation claimant, seeking or demanding payment, sometimes to the point of collection action. However, the Florida Workers’ Compensation Law (WCL) mandates that claimants shall not be liable for payment of any bills incurred as a result of the work injury. And, the Florida Consumer Collections Practices Act (FCCPA) prohibits vendors from enforcing a debt that the vendor knows is not legitimate. What is a claimant to do? What should claimant attorneys do? Where is the proper venue (in just workers’ compensation court or in circuit court)? And what shall employer/carriers/servicing agents (E/C/SA’s) do when a petition for benefits seeks E/C/SA payment of a bill that was improperly sent directly to a claimant? This webinar examines the conflicting law, provides a unique “behind-the-scenes” account of the seminal legal battle and Florida Supreme Court’s recent decision (Lab Corp v. Davis, Fla. May 26, 2022) – and, importantly, provides solutions to all involved in this currently routine billing practice.
