Basically, the answer is because the bodily injury settlement of the case includes the owing medical bills, assuming there is bodily injury coverage of some sort in the case (or uninsured motorist coverage).
Generally, in a Florida car accident, the no fault insurance pays 80 percent of the medical bills and not 100 percent. Thus, the 20 percent is still owing to the doctors. Further, some people select a $1,000 deductible with their no fault PIP coverage. And even more so, if your medical bills go over and above the $10,000 PIP coverage, then those medical bills would be due and owing. Thus, part of any injury case is for the owing medical bills in the case. The other insurance does not pay the medical bills generally as they are legally able to contest any and all medical bills as being unrelated or unreasonable or unnecessary.
