MEDICAID LIENS

About Medicaid Liens

Resolving Medicaid liens can be challenging for a variety of reasons:

• There are more than 50 Medicaid jurisdictions around the U.S., each with its own:
• Laws governing recovery from injury claims; and
• Administrative rules and procedures for resolving any lien interest.
• Many Medicaid offices do not contract with outside subrogation vendors and are overworked and/or less sophisticated than other lien recovery organizations.

Some Medicaid liens require many months to resolve, and the Medicaid recovery office often refuses to provide any type of closure documentation. To the contrary, some offices explicitly reserve the right to add additional charges to a lien regardless of whether you have settled or otherwise closed your claim.
