Blue Cross Blue Shield Liens

By ChristopherFEarley

ADVERTISEMENTS

Many people in Massachusetts have health coverage through Blue Cross Blue Shield.  Following a personal injury event (car accident, slip and fall, etc.) Blue Cross may pay a portion of your medical bills.  If you receive a settlement at the end of your case, then Blue Cross has the legal right to obtain from you its share of money they paid to your medical providers on your behalf.  This right arises from the contract of insurance that you have with Blue Cross.  In my experience working with Blue Cross, they will typically reduce their lien by 10%. 

Therefore, if you are involved in a personal injury accident in Massachusetts, and you have Blue Cross insurance coverage, expect to pay them back for the medical bills they paid on your behalf, out of your settlement.
