Why is a letter of protection utilized?

Occasionally, healthcare facilities and physicians may consent to a “letter of protection,” which is a written authorization enabling the patient to receive treatment without immediate payment. This occurs when individuals are either uninsured or have exhausted their PIP benefits. In such scenarios, a healthcare provider might seek a letter of protection. It is crucial for the client to comprehend that, should the outcome of the case not be in their favor, they would still be obligated to settle their medical expenses regardless of the existence of a letter of protection on record.
