COVID FAQs – PIP Deadlines and LMTs

Q: Have PIP submission or payment deadlines been extended based upon COVID?

A: NO. While auto accidents were significantly reduced in number the last couple of months, with more cars venturing on the roadways, we should expect that number to rise in the next coming months. However, OIR confirmed with the FCA by email that OIR has NOT issued any guidance as to PIP and billing or payment extension deadlines based upon COVID. Likewise, the Governor has not issued any Executive Order relating to PIP billing or payment deadlines. The status quo currently holds so be sure to submit timely PIP billing in order to avoid denials by PIP carriers.

Q: Can LMTs now fully practice, whether in conjunction with treatment or for patients wanting a relaxing massage?

CDC Guidance for Reopening Your Offices

Yesterday the CDC issued a helpful tool for reopening your offices (or keeping them open). The CDC guidance is intended for all Americans, whether you own a business, run a school, or want to ensure the cleanliness and safety of your home. “Reopening America requires all of us to move forward together by practicing social distancing and other daily habits to reduce our risk of exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19.” This plan is part of the larger United States Government plan external icon and focuses on cleaning and disinfecting public spaces, workplaces, businesses and schools, and can also be applied to your home.

Please see the Tool kit and the Guidance.
