Physical Therapy on a Lien or LOP for Personal Injury Cases
What is Physical Therapy on a Lien or LOP?
After an accident, many plaintiffs may need physical therapy (PT) to rebuild strength, improve mobility, and support recovery. But paying for weeks or months of care upfront isn’t always possible. With treatment on a lien or Letter of Protection (LOP), physical therapists provide necessary care now and receive payment once the case resolves.
Whether a plaintiff needs post-surgical rehab, ongoing pain management, or mobility training, PT plays a critical role in recovery. MoveDocs helps law firms and their clients quickly find physical therapy providers who accept liens or LOPs, giving their clients treatment options without upfront cost barriers.
Need a Physical Therapist Who Accepts Lien or LOP Cases?
MoveDocs connects law firms and their clients with physical therapy provider options across the U.S. who understand the unique needs of personal injury cases.
For example, if you’re representing a client with whiplash who is located in Dallas but your firm is based in Florida, MoveDocs makes it easy to search by location and availability for your client to choose a local provider. From initial evaluations to long-term PT sessions, you’ll find providers who work with liens or LOPs and who are familiar with accident-related care.
And with integrations into most major Case Management Software (CMS) platforms, you’ll receive records and bills automatically. No chasing paperwork for your demand letter.
Physical Therapy on a Lien vs. Letter of Protection (LOP): How it Works
For plaintiffs whom medical insurance is not an available option or can’t pay upfront for injury-related orthopedic care, there are two common options:
- Medical Lien:
A written agreement between a patient and a medical provider agreeing that the provider, or its assignee, will be paid from a settlement or final judgement of the personal injury case. - Letter of Protection (LOP):
A written agreement between the attorney and the provider that states that the attorney will pay the provider, or its assignee, from the proceeds of a settlement or judgment, if funds are available. This doesn’t involve a formal legal filing but serves a similar function.
Both options make it possible for plaintiffs to begin PT immediately and continue as needed, while law firms can move forward without delays caused by unpaid medical bills.
