For Referring Hospitals

We can help you qualify your patients for Medicare through the Social Security Disability Program.

Most hospitals are aware that disabled persons who have received Social Security Disability benefits for two years are entitled to Medicare Benefits. Our attorneys have worked directly with hospitals to help ongoing patients of the hospital to become qualified for Medicare Benefits under the Social Security Disability Program.

If your hospital would like to refer clients to the firm, we would encourage your staff to call our office when the patient is in your office. This way we can ensure that we understand the hospital’s concern about the patient and we can obtain the client’s permission to keep the hospital advised of the status of the client’s claim.

Skilled and Experienced Social Security Disability Staff.

Our Senior Attorneys, Carol Ponton and Maria Santana, have handled over 25,000 Social Security Disability claims over the last twenty-five years. In addition to Carol and Maria, there are three other attorneys who have undergone an extensive training course to ensure that they can aggressively and effectively present our clients’ claims to the Social Security Administration.

Our Experience allows us to move claims through the process more quickly with an excellent record of success.

Our track record at each level of the Social Security Disability benefits litigation process is one of notable success. Most Social Security Disability claims are resolved at the hearing level with an Administrative Law Judge. Our record of success with the Administrative Law Judges is approximately 85% to 90%

However, one of the most significant benefits that your patients will receive from our experience is the fact that we can recognize the cases that should be decided favorably without a hearing. We spend a great deal of time writing “on the record” requests for favorable decisions. We have been very successful with our “on the record” requests. A favorable decision without a hearing can reduce the time for a patient to receive benefits by as much as a full year.

Many of Our Cases are Referred to Us by Other Health Care Providers.

Because of our excellent reputation and our winning record, many of our Social Security Disability cases are referred by Health Care Providers. If you have a patient who needs Social Security Disability benefits, we welcome the opportunity to show you that we are a law firm that will care for your patients just as you do.
