When a person gets hurt in an accident — on the road, at the store, at a neighbor’s house — and your hospital treats their injuries, your hospital deserves to get paid. But, as you know, it doesn’t always work out that way.
When the person receives a settlement for their injury, their attorney always gets their cut. After that, anyone associated with the accident has to stand in line with a hand out and fingers crossed. If you don’t have a lien, you take what you can get.
Medical liens help you get paid for the work you do. They are a contract between your institution and the injured person that says that you will cover the cost of their care until a settlement is awarded and then you’ll be repaid with money from the settlement.
Our dedicated Lien Team has the expertise and technology to file effective medical liens on your behalf and secure the highest possible payments for your institution.
As an EnableComp client, our Lien Team works for you at no additional cost.
Perfected Liens in Each State
A lien is most effective when it’s “perfected,” which means that it meets all of the criteria for the state in which it’s filed. There are rules and deadlines that need to be met, and each state is different. This presents a challenge for hospitals trying to manage liens on their own because they don’t always know the rules and their systems aren’t set up to manage the deadlines.
We build each state’s lien-filing criteria into our E360 RCM™ platform which then automatically manages workflows so that deadlines are met and liens are in legal compliance with state laws.

Schedule a ConsultationYour Partner in Negotiation
When your lien is perfected, you’re in a stronger position for negotiation. If your hospital doesn’t receive payment even after the settlement has been awarded, we file a complaint and then it typically becomes a negotiation. Our Lien Team negotiates on your behalf to come to a solution that maximizes your payment.
Your Partner at Trial
When it is clear that your lien is being ignored, we consult with you about the costs and benefits of a trial. When you choose to take it to court, we’re right there with you.
Our MVA/TPL board-certified staff attorneys meet all legal requirements in each state to ensure that you are compliant; they monitor state laws and cases that could impact the lien process in your state; and they have the skills and resources to effectively defend your liens so you get the maximum amount in which you are legally entitled.
