North Dakota gives hospitals a lien on your settlement and your own insurance that needs a notice of intention and a district court filing within 30 days, has no statutory cap, lets Medicaid recover by assignment, and, according to a compendium, applies neither made-whole nor common fund to health plans. 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.
Hospital liens are governed by N.D.C.C. 35-18-01, 35-18-03 and 35-18-05, and Medicaid by 50-24.1-02.1. Medicare recovers under the federal Medicare Secondary Payer statute.
Learn how Medicare and North Dakota Medicaid recover from a settlement, what a compendium says about health plan reimbursement, and how hospital liens differ from insurer claims.
A local personal injury attorney can review your claim — many offer a free consultation.
