# Firmcounter

> Firmcounter helps chiropractic and physical therapy clinics answer lien reduction requests from personal injury attorneys. It is free: a clinic enters six numbers, sees its state's rule and a fair counter, and can get a reply letter by email within one business day.

## What it does
- A counter calculator on the home page (https://firmcounter.com/). Inputs: settlement amount, attorney fee, case costs, the clinic's bill, other medical bills, and the amount the attorney asked the clinic to accept.
- The counter is the clinic's bill less its proportional share of the attorney fee and case costs: bill × (1 − (fee + costs) ÷ settlement).
- Missouri: when provider liens exceed 50% of the net proceeds, providers share that 50% in proportion to their bills (RSMo 430.225). The calculator shows that share when it is lower.
- Washington: all liens for one accident are limited to 25% of the award (RCW 60.44.010). The statute does not say how lienholders split it; the calculator assumes in proportion to bills.
- Texas and Florida: no statute caps a clinic's bill under a letter of protection. Texas Property Code ch. 55 covers hospitals and emergency services. Fla. Stat. § 768.0427 sets disclosure rules for letters of protection.
- A button opens the clinic's own email app with the numbers filled in. A person checks them and sends back a reply letter with firm, middle and flexible figures.

## Who it is for
Chiropractic and physical therapy clinics in Texas, Florida, Missouri and Washington that treat personal injury patients on a lien or letter of protection.

## What it does not do
- It is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. It shows the statute and the arithmetic.
- It does not take patient names, dates, claim numbers or records.
- It does not cover other states yet, and it does not handle hospital, Medicare or Medicaid liens.
