After you have been involved in an accident, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Florida Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage requires that you receive initial treatment from a physician, nurse practitioner, or clinic within 14 days from the date of your accident. Unless you have received critical or serious injuries that require emergency treatment, your natural instinct is probably to make an appointment with your family physician. Unfortunately, most primary care physicians will not see patients if it is for treatment related to injuries from an automobile accident, even if you have been a longstanding patient with their practice.

Primary care physicians typically won’t see auto accident victims because

Most primary care physicians are not accustomed to treating auto accident injuries. Your primary care physician handles a lot of illnesses and injuries every day, but probably not the kind of injuries sustained in car accidents. Whiplash, bulging discs, and soft tissue injuries require proper diagnosis, care, and documentation. It’s crucial to get the proper diagnosis and treatment of your injuries from someone who is specifically qualified to do so.

Some doctors cannot properly bill for the visit. When you are injured in a car accident your medical treatment is covered by your insurance policy’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. PIP billing can be complicated, which means many primary care physician offices often choose not to see patients who will be covered by PIP. In addition to the fact that accident injuries may not be their primary area of focus, it makes sense to seek treatment from a car accident specialist.
