Re: can i make payments on medical bills
it depends on whether the medical providers have liens, if they do, then they must be paid out of the settlement. If they do not have liens, you may be able to make payment arrangements with them. There are various types of liens, including consensual, for which type you would've signed a lien form with the medical provider. If you are in Arizona, there are also statutory liens, which are created by filing a lien with the county recorder.
