Emergency physicians are the unsung heroes who deliver immediate, life-saving care to accident victims. But here’s the catch—many of these patients are uninsured, leaving you with stacks of unpaid medical invoices. In Texas, most emergency room physicians cannot directly file liens on injury settlements. While hospitals employ emergency room physicians, these healthcare providers are typically not directly involved in the lien process. However, the charges for the services they provide can often be included in the hospital lien.
Why emergency physicians need to partner with us
Emergency physicians frequently encounter patients who require urgent care due to accidents. Traditional collection methods can be time-consuming, costly, and often yield minimal results. Moreover, the administrative burden of managing these collections detracts from the physicians’ primary focus: providing exceptional patient care. At Lien On Me, we step in to handle the entire process of filing, negotiating, and enforcing hospital liens, ensuring you get paid without the hassle so you can focus on what you do best.
The services we provide to emergency physicians
Expert filing and management
of hospital liens
Since 1993, the Texas Hospital Lien Statute allows hospital lien holders who choose to, at the request of the emergency room physician, and subject to some important exceptions, to assert and collect the physician’s charges with the hospital lien. We gladly assist with those efforts while keeping you from running afoul of those exceptions. When an accident victim can’t pay, we secure your right to be compensated with the aid of hospital liens, turning potential losses into reliable revenue.

Let’s address some unfounded
fears and assumptions
Fear of criticism for filing liens
Some hospital systems worry about the backlash from filing liens. But let us be clear: securing payment through liens is your legal right. A well-executed TPL program not only protects your financial interests but also ensures you can continue providing high-quality care. Patient complaints are often exaggerated; most people understand that hospitals need to be paid to keep their doors open. We handle the process delicately, ensuring transparency and ongoing communication to minimize misunderstandings and maintain trust.
Reluctance to pay contingency fees
Smaller providers often balk at the idea of paying contingency fees, thinking they’ll eventually get paid on their own. This is a risky bet. Our contingency fee structure means we don’t get paid unless you do, aligning our interests with yours. The fee you pay is a fraction of the revenue we secure for you. We turn accounts that might otherwise yield less than $100,000 into significant financial assets, often generating 20-30 million dollars per year.
Concern about upsetting referral sources
Many physicians fear that aggressive collections will alienate the lawyers who refer patients to them. Here’s the truth: good lawyers respect a provider who stands up for their rights and ensures they’re paid fairly. We handle negotiations diplomatically, maintaining professional relationships while securing your payments. By showing that you value your services and expect fair compensation, you earn respect, not resentment, from your referring lawyers.
The benefits of TPL programs for emergency physicians:
- Increased Revenue: A well-executed TPL program can generate substantial revenue, turning accounts that would otherwise yield minimal returns into significant financial assets. A good TPL program can be worth 20-30 million dollars per year from accounts that would otherwise yield less than $100,000.
- Consistent Cash Flow: By securing payment through liens, emergency physicians can maintain financial stability and continue providing medical services to their communities. This consistent cash flow is crucial for investing in the latest medical technologies and maintaining high standards of patient care.
- Fair Reimbursement: TPL programs ensure that emergency physicians are fairly compensated for the critical care they provide. This equitable compensation reflects the true value of their services and supports the sustainability of their practices.
- Efficiency and Effectiveness: Our approach to managing hospital liens and TPLs streamlines the collections process, reducing the administrative burden on emergency physicians. This allows them to focus on what they do best: providing exceptional patient care.
- Collaborative Relationships: We foster collaborative relationships with personal injury attorneys, insurance adjusters, and other key players in the personal injury field. These partnerships ensure our clients’ TPL programs generate real money.
