Twelve checks before the lien leaves your desk.
Work the list before any lien goes out the door. Check items off as you confirm them, then email or print your completed copy.
One shared handoff: the PI Lien Checklist is a free interactive tool listing the 12 elements every personal injury medical lien must include to be enforceable. Work through each item, check it off as you confirm it, track your progress, and then print or email your completed checklist before the lien goes out the door.
Questions before the handoff.
What does a medical lien need to be enforceable?
This checklist covers 12 elements — including the patient's legal name and date of birth, the date of incident, an itemized statement with CPT/ICD codes, the total amount owed, the patient's signature, and compliance with state-specific lien statutes — that a personal injury medical lien generally needs to be enforceable.
Can I track my progress through the checklist?
Yes. Check each item off as you confirm it and the tool tracks how many of the 12 items are complete, then lets you print or email your copy.
Is the lien checklist free?
Yes. It's completely free, interactive, runs in your browser with no signup, and you can download it as a branded PDF or have it emailed to you.
Does the checklist replace legal advice?
No. It's a general reference. Lien filing, notice, and format requirements vary by state, so confirm compliance with your jurisdiction's statutes.
