Pain management doctors on lien for California personal injury cases
Pain management doctors on lien treat a personal injury client's ongoing pain now and are paid from the settlement later. Through LHG Medical Network, a California attorney sends the client and Legal Hub Group matches the closest pain management doctor in its network by zip code, then follows the visits, injections, records and bill through to the reduction at settlement.
We match your client to the closest pain management doctor in the network and track every visit, record, bill and reduction.
01
When pain management doctors come into an auto accident case
Pain management doctors treat pain that stays after the first weeks of care: neck and back pain after a rear-end collision, nerve pain running into an arm or leg, headaches that do not settle.
Their tools are evaluation, medication management, injections such as epidural or facet injections, and a plan for what comes next.
They often sit between conservative care and a surgical opinion, and they are frequently the ones who order an MRI.
02
How it is usually added to a case
The chiropractor or physical therapist usually asks for pain management when a client is not improving. One click on their page, and Legal Hub Group matches the closest pain management doctor in the network to the client's zip code. An attorney can also add pain management from the case page, for example after an MRI shows a disc injury.
03
Records and bills we collect
The initial evaluation, each follow-up note, every procedure note (an injection, a nerve block), any imaging the doctor ordered, the medication list and the itemized bill. Pain management bills tend to grow over months, so Legal Hub Group asks for the records and the bill when the doctor marks treatment done, and reminds the office until they arrive.
04
At settlement
At settlement the attorney enters the amount and what each provider is asked to accept; the pain management doctor accepts or counters online. Because this bill often includes several dated procedures, the itemized bill the office uploaded is what both sides read. Once agreed, the attorney pays the doctor on the platform, straight to the practice.
Questions
Questions
What does a pain management doctor do in a car accident case?
Evaluates ongoing pain, manages medication, performs procedures such as injections when appropriate, and documents the condition over time. Treatment decisions are the doctor's; Legal Hub Group gives no medical advice.
Is pain management the same as physical therapy?
No. Physical therapy is exercise-based rehabilitation; pain management is medical treatment of pain by a physician. Many clients see both, and either practice can ask for the other through the platform.
Can the pain management doctor order an MRI through the network?
Yes. The doctor presses "Needs another provider" and chooses MRI/imaging; Legal Hub Group matches the closest imaging center in the network and tells the attorney.
