In most cases an individual will incur medical expenses from injury related treatment prior to settlement being reached. Depending on who pays these medical expenses, liens may arise. Medicare liens are usually on all parties’ radar due to the “super lien” rights provided by the Medicare Secondary Payer Act (MSP).

However, in addition to Medicare liens which should be considered mandatory to resolve due to steep interest and/or penalties for non-payment, the resolution of one or more other healthcare liens should also be negotiated and satisfied from settlement proceeds.
