Lacking health insurance shouldn't keep you from treatment or compensation after someone else injures you. Several paths exist.
Treatment on a Lien
Some providers treat injury victims under a letter of protection, agreeing to be paid from the eventual settlement rather than upfront.
MedPay and Other Coverage
If you carry MedPay on your auto policy, it can cover initial bills regardless of fault. MaineCare may also be available to those who qualify.
The At-Fault Party Still Owes
Your lack of insurance doesn't reduce what the at-fault party owes. A claim can recover your medical costs and more.
