Frequently asked questions
What does "on lien" mean?+
A medical lien lets you receive treatment now and have the cost paid from the settlement of your personal injury case later. There is no out-of-pocket cost to start treatment.
Do I need an attorney before my first visit?+
No. You can be seen right away. If you already have an attorney, we coordinate directly with their office; if you do not, our team can still begin your evaluation.
Do I need health insurance?+
No. Lien-basis treatment does not depend on health insurance.
