The cost of treating personal injury patients goes far beyond the 12–24 months of waiting to get paid. In Episode 2, we break down two invisible costs nobody budgets for: the operational tax PI cases place on your staff — from lien tracking to attorney follow-ups to billing workflow complexity — and the courtroom credibility risk that comes with treating patients under liens and Letters of Protection. We look at why defense attorneys use your payment arrangement to attack your medical judgment, why 45% of neurosurgeons have eliminated high-risk procedures from their practice, and what a better model looks like when those invisible costs are removed.
