At Lien On Me, we specialize in helping healthcare providers secure fair payment for their services through effective hospital lien strategies. Led by Jared Johnson, our team ensures you get paid promptly and fairly, allowing you to focus on providing top-notch care to your patients. We know that you may have a lot of questions, and we have the answers.

What is a hospital lien?

A hospital lien is a legal claim a hospital can place on a patient’s potential settlement or judgment from a personal injury lawsuit. When an accident victim is treated at a hospital and can’t pay for the medical services provided, the hospital can file a lien to ensure they get compensated once the patient’s personal injury claim is resolved. This way, the hospital gets its share from the settlement before the patient or other creditors see any money.

Why should I file a hospital lien?

Filing a hospital lien ensures you get paid for the critical care you provide to accident victims. It’s about securing your right to compensation for the services you’ve already rendered. Without a lien, you might be left holding the bag if the patient can’t or won’t pay. A well-executed lien program can significantly boost your revenue and help maintain your financial stability.

How does the lien process work?

The lien process starts with filing the lien with the appropriate authorities and notifying all relevant parties, including the patient and the party responsible for the injury (and their insurance company). The lien is attached to the patient’s personal injury claim. When the patient settles their claim, the hospital gets paid from the settlement proceeds, typically before anyone else gets their share. We handle all this for you, from filing to negotiation and collection.

Can insurance companies or attorneys contest my lien?

Absolutely, and they often do. Insurance companies and defense attorneys love to find reasons to reduce or deny lien payments. That’s why you need a strong legal team on your side. We provide legal defense to protect your interests and ensure you get paid what you’re owed. We know all the tricks and tactics they use, and we’re ready to counter every single one of them.

How long does it take to get paid once a lien is filed?

The timeline can vary depending on the specifics of the case, but our goal is always to expedite the process. Personal injury cases usually take 6 to 30 months to settle. When they do, attorneys and adjusters need quick, reasonable responses from lienholders. Unfortunately, they often face red tape and endless forms. At Lien On Me, we cut through the nonsense. My team typically resolves matters with one or two phone calls and a couple of emails.

How much does it cost to work with Lien on Me?

We work on a contingency basis and get paid only when you get paid, so we’re motivated to get you the maximum recovery as quickly as possible. And if you’re concerned about the loss of revenue through contingency fees, remember that a well-executed TPL program can often add 20-30 million dollars annually from accounts that would otherwise yield less than $100,000. And if you do the math, you’ll find that 70% of millions is a lot more than 100% of a few thousand.

Can smaller healthcare providers use hospital liens?

Absolutely. Hospital liens aren’t just for big hospitals. Smaller providers like freestanding ERs, chiropractors, outpatient imaging centers, pain management doctors, and orthopedic surgeons can all benefit from liens. If you’re providing necessary medical care to accident victims and aren’t getting paid, a lien can be your ticket to fair compensation.

What makes Lien on Me different from other lien services?
