Self-Funded ERISA Plan Lien Reduced by 87%

A Pennsylvania mother was badly hurt in a motor vehicle accident, which resulted in her baby’s premature birth. The child had significant injuries that totaled $222,792.52 in liens. Because this was a self-funded ERISA plan, it would be difficult to argue for reductions because of the strong plan language.

John Buford, Single Event Lead Attorney at MASSIVE, obtained the medical records and argued there was treatment included in the lien that was not directly related to the accident. As our experts do with all cases, John reviewed the ERISA plan language in-depth to ensure the Plan had rights to this settlement. Once we confirmed they had rights, we turned to removing the unrelated claims with medical records. Our team was successful in reducing the lien down to $30,000…an 87% reduction!

“This was a difficult case involving injuries to an unborn child in a vehicle accident that led to the early birth of the child,” said John. “Our team was pleased with the outcome, as we were able to get the lien reduced significantly using our best efforts and practices.”
