Every visit to your medical provider adds another chapter to the story of your injury. Each follow-up appointment documents your progress, captures your pain levels, and shows how the injury is impacting your daily life.

When treatment is inconsistent, that story develops gaps — and insurance companies are quick to use those gaps to challenge your claim. To make sure your records accurately reflect what you're going through, attend every recommended follow-up and be honest about your symptoms at each visit.
