Notice to Medical Providers:

​

The Minnesota Court of Appeals recently issued a ruling that is important to you and your auto injury patients.  The Court ruled that Minnesota Statute 62Q.75 applies to all medical providers, even those treating auto injury patients.  Section 62Q.75 requires all medical providers send bills to insurers within six months of the date care is provided.  The statute states that if bills are not sent to insurers within six months, the bill becomes null and void and cannot be collected from any insurer or the patient. 

 

For patients whose no fault benefits have been terminated by the insurer, it becomes even more important that the provider continue to bill the no fault insurer even though the insurer will deny the bill.  We expect no fault insurers will more aggressively use the statute to avoid paying bills for medical care.  The insurers will keep track and will seek to avoid paying charges that were not billed, even if the insurer would have denied the bill if it had received it.
