PERSONAL INJURY GLOSSARY
Abbreviation for Letter of Protection. A written promise from a personal injury firm to pay a provider out of the case settlement so the client can receive treatment without paying upfront.
LOP is the standard abbreviation for Letter of Protection. Personal injury case managers, intake teams, and providers use LOP in case notes, intake checklists, and provider communications. The full term and the abbreviation mean the same thing.
When a personal injury case manager opens a new file, the LOP packet is often one of the first documents pulled together. It typically includes the law firm's signed promise to pay, the client's authorization, the case identifier, and the provider's intake details. Pharmacies, imaging centers, and treating physicians need this packet on file before they will extend treatment on lien.
CreoRx's pharmacy lien workflow uses a single master Letter of Protection. The firm signs once, then any client enrolled in the program can fill prescriptions at 67,000+ pharmacies without a separate LOP per fill. This is one of the operational advantages of a lien pharmacy: one document covers the entire client roster instead of one packet per pharmacy per visit.
See the long-form entry for Letter of Protection for the legal mechanics, scope, and contract structure.
