Unlocking Hospital Revenue: How Abril Law Secures Your Right to Payment with Lien Management

In today’s complex healthcare environment, acute care facilities and hospital networks face increasing challenges in securing timely and full reimbursement for services rendered—especially when dealing with personal injury cases, auto accidents, and third-party liability claims. Navigating hospital lien laws, ongoing litigation, and competing claims requires focused legal expertise to protect hospitals’ financial interests.

At Abril Law, we specialize in helping South Florida hospitals and health systems maximize their reimbursements through comprehensive lien management and litigation support tailored to the unique regulatory landscape of Florida counties.

Hospital Liens: Protecting Your Right to Payment

Florida law allows hospitals to file liens against personal injury settlements or judgments to secure payment for emergency and medically necessary care. However, lien enforcement is a highly specialized area that demands precise timing, thorough documentation, and procedural accuracy.

Abril Law works closely with acute care providers to:

• Prepare and timely file hospital liens in accordance with state statutes and county-specific procedures.

• Ensure liens cover the full scope of services, including emergency care, surgeries, inpatient stays, and rehabilitation.

• Coordinate with hospital billing departments to reconcile outstanding balances and lien amounts before filing.

By effectively filing liens, we help hospitals assert their legal right to reimbursement, even when patients settle claims with insurance carriers or at-fault parties.

Tracking Ongoing Litigation: Staying Ahead of Complex Claims

Hospital reimbursement often depends on successful resolution of third-party claims, which may span months or years. Abril Law provides diligent tracking and management of ongoing litigation to:

• Monitor case status and ensure hospitals receive timely updates on settlement offers or judgments.

• Communicate with plaintiffs’ attorneys, insurers, and defense counsel to protect hospital interests throughout the claims process.

• Promptly assert or enforce hospital liens when settlements or verdicts are reached.

Our proactive approach minimizes risk of delayed or lost reimbursement and helps hospitals recover the maximum amount owed.

Filing Interpleader Actions in South Florida Counties

In cases where multiple parties claim entitlement to settlement funds, hospitals face the risk of payment disputes or being caught in legal crossfire. To address this, Abril Law files interpleader actions in counties where available—such as Miami-Dade and Broward—to:

• Deposit disputed settlement proceeds with the court.

• Require all claimants to litigate entitlement issues before funds are disbursed.

• Protect hospitals from liability and double payment risks.

Interpleader actions safeguard hospital interests by clarifying rightful payment and ensuring compliance with Florida’s lien statutes.
