TENNESSEE AUTO INSURANCE GUIDE

Tennessee MedPay, Hospital Liens, Subrogation & Reimbursement

Tennessee medical-expense recovery can involve optional MedPay, health-plan reimbursement, subrogation, Medicare or Medicaid interests, and statutory hospital liens. Qualifying hospital liens generally attach to personal-injury recoveries subject to statutory limits and priority rules.

  • Identify every available MedPay or first-party medical benefit.
  • Track payments by auto insurers, health insurers and medical providers.
  • Preserve hospital-lien, reimbursement and subrogation notices.
  • Review the one-third hospital-lien limitation, attorney-lien priority, perfection and settlement rules.
