Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in New Jersey
medicare lien in medical malpractice case
Malpractice case is in settlement stages. Doctor admits not reading my mother's CT scan and let throat tumor grow for 7 months. Mom did not have cancer treatment, but chose Hospice care. She died of laryngical cancer. Medicare bills exceed $80,000. Doctor did not cause cancer..he allowed it to grow.
Medicare lien stands in the way of a acceptable settlement.
How can we fight Medicare on this matter? How do I negotiate a lien with Medicare? My lawyer says we have to pay them.
