REVISED
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30847 / H0383
Extending the time for filing a medical lien until after a citizen's health insurance has had the chance to process
the medical costs ensuring that medical providers get paid a fair value for their services. This also modernizes
the 1941 medical lien statute to make it consistent with recent Idaho medical billing statutes. This helps patients
by making sure that those who have purchased medical insurance receive the benefits they have purchased while
still protecting medical providers.
FISCAL NOTE
No impact to the general fund.
