Personal Injury (PI Case for state of CA)

[ponc]

Good Morning!

I have a question and need help.    Do we as a medical provider have to reduce our lien when a contractual lien was sign by our patient and their attorney?  Per attorney, we are require to reduce our lien according to CA civil code 3040(f) under (a) or (b).  If we don't have to give that reduction, is there an actual law code that we can use on the negotiation letter?  Please help.  Thank you in advance.

This is a legal question not a billing question.  SOrry but I'm not qualified to answer this.

Thanks for the response, Michele.  I got the answer after much research.

I need information from Medical Billers on Personal injury. How do I address a provider who lets PI cases go for 6 - 7 years. Way to long. How can I protect myself on how long PI are on the collections list and what to do when they are not collected by the provider.
