Minnesota gives hospitals a lien behind your attorney's, lets health plans claim only after you have a full recovery and only net of your fee share, and pays Medical Assistance after fees while guaranteeing you one-third of the net. 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 hospital lien is governed by Minn. Stat. 514.68, 514.69 and 514.71, health plan subrogation by 62A.095 and Medical Assistance by 256B.37. Medicare recovers under the federal Medicare Secondary Payer statute.
Learn how Medicare and Medical Assistance recover from a settlement, why Minnesota makes health plans wait for a full recovery, and how hospital liens differ from insurer claims.
A local personal injury attorney can review your claim — many offer a free consultation.
