Third Fridays Podcast: Episode 45 - Health Insurance Matching Program

Christopher Major joins Christian Sison for a new episode of the Third Fridays podcast. The two discuss an often overlooked area of exposure in New York Workers’ Compensation claims: reimbursement via the Health Insurance Matching Program. When a treating doctor bills a private health carrier for medical expenses related to the Workers’ Compensation claim, the Workers’ Compensation carrier has several defenses to dispute payment. Christopher and Christian focus on reducing LOIS clients’ bottom line by recommending several ways to Defend From Day 1.

Learn More About New York Workers’ Compensation Defense at LOIS

We represent insurance carriers, self-insured employers, third party claim administrators, and employers before the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. We handle cases from cradle-to-grave. We want to be by your side, moving cases aggressively to closure from the start of litigation all the way through to settlement.

We only assign one attorney and one paralegal to each case. This means that your team members always have one contact to go to for any questions. We do not have 'hearing attorney' or a 'negotiation attorney' or 'appeal department' or anything else! All of our attorneys handle all of those roles – meaning cases are not 'passed around' as they move through the litigation process. Your risk professional or adjuster always knows who is assigned – because the attorney does not change.
