If you have a case against Medicaid, your attorney will protect your rights by filing a civil lawsuit and seeking monetary damages. As your case moves forward, your attorney will gather facts, evidence, and identify witnesses to support your contention and represent your best interests in all legal proceedings leading to trial in federal or state civil court, whichever has the authority to hear your case under jurisdiction law.

In civil court, your must prove your case on the preponderance of evidence, which means that the evidence you present more likely than not proves your claim. Your attorney will use your medical records, related expenses, and other evidence to prove your claim was improperly denied and the service, equipment, or supplies were allowed by Medicaid.
