What Does “Subrogation” Mean in Regard to Health Insurance?

what does subrogation mean

If your health insurance pays for your medical treatment that is related to a car accident caused by someone else’s negligence, they can later ask to be paid back out of your settlement. This is called a subrogation interest. It’s a reimbursement to your health insurance company for the costs of your medical treatments after an injury.

When you have health insurance such as Medicare, Medicaid, or Tricare, we are required by law to notify them that you were involved in an incident in which you were injured and that they may or may not have paid out for medical bills as a result.

However, when you have private health insurance, your lawyer has no such duty to notify your health insurance carrier. Common private health insurance companies include Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and others. The difference is that you do not always have to pay back your private health insurance providers for the medical bills you incur from a wreck. The only time you pay back your medical insurance provider is if they put you or the law firm on notice, and if they do so before we’ve disbursed your settlement amount.

I had an awesome experience with Hudson law firm. Everyone at the office is so nice and treated me with respect and concern from day 1. They make you feel welcomed when you go into the office. In the end they were able to get me a check even though I still have a journey ahead they were able to help compensate me for some of my pain and suffering.

No one wants to deal with the aftermath of an accident, but if you do find yourself in that situation, these folks make the experience so much easier. I felt comfortable with them from my very first meeting. They even had a welcome message for me in their lobby. They are great people to work with and I am happy with the outcome.

A law firm like such is hard to find, one that cares for their clients with such passion. I worked with them for almost 2 years. He has always been friendly, professional, helpful, and over all amazing. He was patient with my silly questions. He is beyond paralegal. I will certainly recommend this firm to others,
