PRIVATE LIEN RESOLUTION SERVICES

Those injured in an accident have experienced emotional, physical and financial hardships. You’ve fought hard to earn them every cent they deserve in a settlement only to discover a private healthcare or hospital lien. Reducing or resolving these liens is essential to getting that much-needed settlement money to your client. Medivest’s healthcare lien resolution services can help.

What Are Private Healthcare or Hospital Liens?

Private healthcare or hospital liens are legal claims made by a health insurer or medical treatment facility to recover the costs of injury-related care when the injured person later receives a settlement.

For example, an individual who suffered injuries in a car accident may get a future settlement from the at-fault driver’s insurance company. In this case, their private health insurer may want repayment for the medical bills covered for the injury. Similarly, the hospital that treated the injured person wants to recover any unpaid bills. These companies file a legal claim against the settlement proceeds. Recipients must satisfy these liens from their settlement funds, reducing their overall payout.

Each state has different requirements for lien procedures, and state laws govern the hospital lien process and enforceability.
