Does Medicare Get Paid Back After a Personal Injury Settlement?
If you were seriously injured by a person's negligent actions and Medicare paid for your medical expenses at the time of the accident, there will be a lien on any personal injury recovery or settlement you receive. While in theory, this seems like a fair practice, Medicare can be aggressive in recouping money it is entitled to.
It is important to hire an attorney for any personal injury claim, and it is even more important to have an experienced lawyer representing you if you are on Medicare. Contact the law firm of Grandy & Martin, P.A., in Charlotte, North Carolina, for assistance with a Medicare insurance lien.
