A: I think I answered you earlier, but we will try again. You get paid when a doctor on the Medical Provider Network for that insurance company examines you and writes that you are Temporarily Totally Disabled OR that you are Partially Disabled but your employer cannot provide modified duty. If you let 50 days go without a medical report indicating you cannot work, you may not be paid for those 50 days. So you want to choose a Treating PHysician from the MPN Immediately. AND get in to see him/her immediately; until that report comes out the adjuster has no reason to pay you. You can look for attorneys here on Justia or try Avvo or the San Bernardino County Bar Association. California Applicants' Attorneys Association - CAAA - is another place. Just don't pick the "TV" people...
