Tracking and resolving liens
Last updated 2026-10-12
Tracking and resolving liens
The lien ledger tracks every lien on a case — medical provider liens, health insurance subrogation, Medicare/Medicaid, and others — from first notice to final resolution.
The lien lifecycle
- Record the lienholder, claimed amount and basis when you learn of the lien.
- Negotiate — track reductions and correspondence on the lien record.
- Resolve — record the final agreed amount. Resolved amounts lock and feed the settlement statement.
Where liens appear
The case's settlement estimate always shows liens alongside fees and costs, so the client's estimated net is honest at every stage — not just at closing.
