Yes, we can place a legal lien on your personal injury settlement to cover the cost of your diagnostic imaging. This arrangement, known as personal injury medical lien-based imaging, allows you to receive essential diagnostic scans—such as an MRI, CT scan, or X-ray—without any out-of-pocket costs at the time of your appointment.
Here is how the lien process works for our patients in Arizona and Texas:
- Legal Agreement: A medical lien is a contractual agreement that allows us to recover the cost of your imaging directly from your final settlement or judgment.
- Deferred Payment: You pay nothing upfront. We defer all billing until your case is resolved, ensuring financial barriers do not delay your care.
- Attorney Coordination: We work directly with your legal representation to accept liens or Letters of Protection (LOP). Once verified, we can often provide same-day or next-day appointments.
- Court-Ready Evidence: We deliver board-certified, court-ready radiology reports within 24 to 48 hours to help your attorney build a stronger case immediately.
It is important to note that the lien amount reduces your net settlement proceeds, as we are paid from the settlement funds before the remainder is distributed to you. Additionally, if your case does not result in a favorable settlement or judgment, you may still be responsible for the balance. We recommend discussing these financial responsibilities with your attorney.
Results may vary based on individual patient conditions. Please consult with a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment advice.
