STATE LAW – NEVADA LIBRARY – GUIDE 21
Nevada MedPay, Medical Liens & Reimbursement
Medical-payments coverage, provider liens, health-plan reimbursement claims and subrogation can materially affect the net recovery after a Nevada crash.
- Identify every available MedPay limit and qualifying insured.
- Track payments by auto insurers, health insurers and medical providers.
- Preserve lien, reimbursement and subrogation notices.
- Verify the legal basis and amount of each claimed reimbursement right before settlement distribution.
Nevada hospital liens require statutory perfection
NRS 108.590 gives a hospital a lien on qualifying tort judgments or settlements for the reasonable value of hospitalization. NRS 108.605 and 108.610 impose notice, filing, and service requirements that should be verified before treating a provider demand as a perfected lien.
Public-program and reimbursement issues require separate analysis
NRS 108.655 limits certain hospital-lien recoveries when the injured person may be eligible for Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, or another public program. MedPay, health-plan reimbursement, workers’ compensation, and provider liens arise from different legal sources and should not be treated as interchangeable.
