How We Get Results

Synergy’s Military lien experts have deep experience with the various examiners and levels of approval needed to obtain reductions on liens asserted for military benefits.

What is a Military Lien?

There are over 17 million active duty, veterans, retirees and dependents eligible for or receiving some form of military health benefit. Military Health System administers military healthcare coverage for uniformed soldiers and their dependent families. Tricare beneficiaries include active duty, National Guard, Reserve, and retirees (Tricare for Life for those with Medicare benefits). Tricare allows beneficiaries to receive care and services through civilian providers and facilities.

The Department of Veterans Affairs administers benefits to those who were enlisted in any U.S. Military branch and have served during wartime. VA health benefits extend coverage to beneficiaries who receive care in a VA hospital or facility, or for VA authorized services in a civilian facility.

Laws/Legal Implications

Tricare is a health insurance program for active duty, reservists, and retirees under age 65. According to 42 USCA §2651,

“[i]f a member of the uniformed services is injured or contracts a disease, under circumstances creating a tort liability upon a third person…the United States shall have a right to recover from the third person or an insurer of the third person…”

For those who have served during wartime and qualify for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), their obligation is defined under 38 U.S.C 1729, which…

“…grants the United States the right to recover reasonable charges in repayment for healthcare benefits provided to a veteran…from certain third parties who would otherwise be liable for the veterans medical care.”

If not addressed, outstanding liens or unreported settlements may affect your client’s eligibility.

TESTIMONIALS

“Synergy Settlement Services offered clear and prompt guidance on their lien reduction services. Their team members were easy to work with and offered candid advice at every step on how to maximize our client’s settlement. Their work is much appreciated, and we recommend Synergy for lien reduction services.”

“Synergy’s focus on these liens allows our office to better represent our clients, by allowing us to focus on what we do best – litigation. Further, Synergy’s expertise in the Medicare and lien world provides a sense of security for the client and us as attorneys to ensure we are providing the client the best advise possible.”

“We fought numerous defendants to obtain a record‑breaking settlement but, in the end, it was Synergy who stepped up to help my office protect our client’s settlement proceeds. After obtaining millions of dollars from five different defendants, we were left with an ERISA medical insurance lien that refused to compromise and wanted 100% reimbursement. I attempted to negotiate with them, and they refused to accept any reductions whatsoever. Our client suffered a serious brain injury and there was no way we wanted an insurance company to get paid back in full. Synergy went to work on them and in short order they obtained a major reduction in the ERISA lien, putting substantially more money in my client’s pocket.”

“We were able to save our clients millions of dollars through Synergy’s healthcare lien resolution program."

“Newsome Melton has worked with Synergy for many years. Time and time again, Synergy has proven to be a great partner, committed to going above and beyond to maximize our clients’ net recovery.”
