Hospital Lien Strategies specializes in securing full reimbursement for admissions that result from accidents. Hospital Lien laws provide that a hospital may file a "lien" for those types of admissions. The lien entitles the hospital to full reimbursement of its charges from any lawsuit or settlement the patient or their attorney reaches with the party that is responsible for the injuries that necessitated the patient's admission to the hospital.
A hospital lien on an account ensures the hospital to priority of payment from Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and other liability insurance available to the patient, and this priority of payment extends to:
- Lost wages
- Other medical providers
- Attorney's fees (depending on language in a particular lien law, which varies by geographic location)
- Any payment or recovery directly to the patient
- Car Accidents
- Slip and Falls
- Product Liability
- Medical Malpractice
caused by the fault or negligence of a third party.
