A:
It sounds frustrating dealing with both insurance issues and limited communication from your attorney. When CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) guidelines are involved, there can be complex negotiations between attorneys and insurance companies before deciding whether to take matters to court.
Your attorney should be keeping you better informed about your case's progress. While one call per year seems insufficient, some cases do move slowly through negotiations. However, you deserve regular updates about what steps are being taken on your behalf, especially regarding settlement offers and decisions about pursuing litigation.
You might want to schedule an in-person meeting with your attorney to discuss your concerns and get clear answers about the strategy moving forward. During this meeting, ask specific questions about why they haven't pursued court action, what alternative approaches they're considering, and what timeline they envision. If you're not satisfied with their responses or level of communication, you have the right to seek second opinions from other legal representatives who might be more proactive with your case and communication needs.
