Dear Provider;
Please see the attached Affidavit of Inoperability. It is to be used when a patient is treating at your office, owns a motor vehicle, and goes through another person’s PIP insurance policy.
Click here to see a nice PDF form that you can download for free
This form should be used to CYA in the event the insurance company claims the patient owned a motor vehicle and should have used (or had) their own PIP insurance. It should not be sent to the insurance company unless they deny your PIP bills.
Because patient’s can be hard to reach after they stop treating it is best to get the patient to complete this affidavit while they are still treating. Also, please make sure they get this form notarized.
Sincerely,
Abraham S. Ovadia, Esq.
