What Is A Medical Lien?
When you negotiate a medical lien you are able to receive medical care treatment without the expectation of having to pay the full amount immediately. A medical lien allows you to pay your medical bills once your personal injury case has been settled. In a nutshell, If you are able to negotiate a med lien your healthcare bills will be sent directly to your medical provider once the case is settled. It can be thought of as being able to receive medical care “on credit” with the healthcare provider awaiting payment upon settlement. Most healthcare professionals in California will agree to work on a medical lien basis if the patient cannot afford to pay for their necessary medical treatment until the at-fault party settles.
