What is the difference between a doctor’s lien and a subrogation lien?
A doctor’s lien is a situation where a doctor agrees to provide medical treatment with the understanding that you will pay for that treatment out of the proceeds from your injury case, after the case in resolved. A subrogation lien is where your health insurance pays for your treatment, but is reimbursed for that payment from the resolution of your injury case. This ensures that the injured person isn’t allowed to double collect.
