FEHBA LIEN RESOLUTION SERVICES

The Federal Employees Health Benefits Act (FEHBA) created a health insurance program specifically for federal employees and eligible family members. Today, the program provides coverage for more than 8 million retirees, former employees, current employees and families.

Courts have ruled that certain language in FEHBA plans “preempts” state laws. In other words, the federal laws regarding subrogation and repayment apply. As a result, many third-party collectors are emboldened to demand full reimbursement.

About FEHBA Liens

A FEHBA lien is a legal claim by a FEHBA-sponsored insurer or its agent against a Workers’ Compensation or liability settlement. These claims arise from an injured person’s medical treatment the insurer paid for — once the person secures a financial award from the at-fault party, the insurer wants reimbursement for injury related care. To get that repayment, they file a lien against the settlement funds.

Finding a FEHBA lien can be disheartening for your clients, who have already experienced physical, emotional and financial pain because of their injuries. Medivest can help you retain the highest net payout possible for your clients as your FEHBA lien resolution and reduction specialist.
