It is not uncommon for a hospital to refuse to bill your health insurance, and instead, seek to assert a lien on the proceeds of your personal injury settlement or verdict. While it is not uncommon for hospitals to do so, it is improper for a hospital to engage in this practice. Our office can assist with ensuring that your health insurance pays any medical expenses you may incur. Your personal health insurer may seek reimbursement of whatever they pay on your behalf from the at-fault driver’s insurance carrier when the case is settled (through a process called subrogation). Our office will negotiate with your health insurer on the amount they may get reimbursed out of your injury recovery. You should speak to your attorney about your hospital not taking your insurance card.
