You are writing from Fla., and therefore being seen by Fla. attorney looking out for Fla. cases. However, since the accident happened in New York, you need a New York firm to handle it.

I'm sorry for your mom's heart attack. Contact the hospital administration where your mom is staying.

In the matter of CDPAPvs. Zucker,10/11/19
in layman's terms, what was decided?
Does this decision affect the status of the PA as an independent contractor vs. an employee?
The court found that the Department of Health did not follow proper procedure in changing the way FIs are paid for services provided under CDPAP. Because they didn’t, the change was voided and they had to go back to the reimbursement method prior to 7/1/19.
This had nothing to do with... Read more »
Never had any issues or disciplinary actions. One week before I was told how amazing I am for creating job for the handicap then next week I get fired for creating a hostel work environment I'm still completely crushed
The statute of limitations to bring an action depends on the legal claim. You should first consult a Wisconsin employment attorney about your situation to determine whether you have a legal claim. If you do, your attorney can help you determine how much time you have left to bring a claim.
I have more information if your interested
You haven't asked a question. If you are able to cure every disease then you should get a patent as soon as possible.
You'll hear people say that all the time. A more prudent approach might be to contact the billing and collections department of the hospital and explain your situation and see if you could negotiate for reduced payments. If you simply take it upon yourself to reduce payments to some arbitrary... Read more »
Been back numerous times still not right. I believe because of two technicians actions it was done deliberately. Can I sue for discrimination and the fact that I have to live with this malfunctioning mouth?
You can not, according to what you have indicated, for discrimination. Perhaps you could sue for negligence or, if what you say is correct, intentional tort.
I have a legal question about my post-divorce obligations. My daughter turned 18 in October, but she is still in the 10th grade - she failed more than once. She was supposed to graduate in June 2020. That won't happen. We live in Pennsylvania. Am I required to provide health insurance up until the... Read more »
If your support order requires you to maintain coverage for her, then you should. If you feel it's a burden for you to continue covering her after June 2010, you can file a petition with the court to seek a modification of the order.
My insurance dropped me because I “make too much money” but I never received the notice they said the mailed me. So I had gone to the ER and now I have a $4000 hospital bill. The insurance company said I can’t file a complaint because I am no longer insured under them and the insurance... Read more »
The hospital should have a process where you can apply to have the bill reduced. Call the hospitals billing department

I was treated horrible only way to describe it is as a dog. a day and a half after my surgery I was moved to a private room. a step... Read more »
I believe I may have answered this question previously because the facility name seems familiar. My response was that although you suffered a painful and aggravating ordeal post-op, you mention that the surgery went well. Med mal cases are generally based on a breach of duty. As a practical matter,... Read more »

I was preapproved for the surgery, but surgeon used different technique and device than what was preapproved. Do I have grounds to fight this charge ($8,956)?
There is often an administrative appeal procedure that you can make to your insurance company when a claim that you thought would be pre-approved and covered was denied. The hospital or facility also wants to get paid so they may be willing to assist with this appeal. Sometimes a good place to... Read more »
I signed an I pad agreeing to pay a certain amount and now I have received a bill in the mail 6 months later for $400 they are claiming the insurance didn't cover. Do I have any legal ground to refuse to pay and how do I go forward?
I would have liked to offer a more unequivocal "yes" or "no" response here, but it is difficult to offer a definite answer without knowing the full terms of any agreements or paperwork/screens you signed, and the nature of the denial. Terms and conditions imposed by the insurance carrier upon their... Read more »

The hospital transferred the ward to the mental facility. I read under Ga Title 29-2-21 that the... Read more »
The statute you referenced is not applicable because the ward is an adult. GA 29-2-21 is about minors only.
That being said, a guardian of an adult ward is not financially responsible for the ward’s expenses; these expenses would be paid for from the ward’s income and assets.... Read more »
