Hi what needs to be done when a patient says that the clm is under litigation... Why the provider need to file a lien, and where doe he need to file it... What part he plays in that case... is there some usefull resource you can provide me...|||ok in general the medical provider will have an automatic (by force of law) lien against any recovery made by the claimant in the suit
this is to protect the provider so that he knows he will ultimately get paid if he extends credit to the claimant
in general, most states have the lien done automatically, that is, there is no necessity for the provider to file this lien, but the providers generally have attorneys that monitor the cases to protect their interests
additionally, if a suit is filed in tort, the provider will file a complaint of intervention to make sure he gets paid before the claimant
hope this helps
