The number one adversary to plan recoveries is not the member, or the liable party, or the law.  It’s the plaintiff’s personal injury lawyer who must advocate for the plan member and argue against plan interests.  Health plans need to counter with attorney representation of their own.  

There are many laws, state and federal, that affect a plan’s right to recover.  And two legal doctrines in particular that pose a serious threat to a plan’s ability to recover 100%:  the common fund and made whole doctrines.  The right health plan language is vital to countering these threats, but documentation is only half the battle.    

SRP attorneys have over 16 years experience positioning health plan interests and negotiating with personal injury lawyers, liable parties and adverse carriers.
