Louisiana gives hospitals and providers a privilege on the net amount payable to you, behind your lawyer's, effective only after certified-mail notice, and gives Medicaid a similar privilege. Health plan claims turn on case law and contract. Enter the settlement and each claim to see what is left for you.
Enter the settlement, your attorney's fee and costs, and each claim.
The medical privilege is governed by La. R.S. 9:4752 and 9:4753, and Medicaid by 46:446. Medicare recovers under the federal Medicare Secondary Payer statute.
Learn how Medicare and Louisiana Medicaid recover from a settlement, what Louisiana law says about health plan reimbursement and made-whole, and how provider privileges differ from an insurer's claim.
A local personal injury attorney can review your claim — many offer a free consultation.
