Do I or my client need to do anything to deal with healthcare liens/obligations asserted by the VA, TRICARE, or Indian Health Affairs?
Yes. However, your only obligation is to notify the LRA if your client is entitled (evidenced by your client intake information, medical records or the optional Lien Questionnaire described below) and whether notice of lien has been received. The LRA will satisfy and discharge these liens upon notification by Enrolling Claimant, plaintiff attorneys or by the respective agencies. If you or your client has received notice and / or placed these agencies on notice (“notice claimants”), your immediate cooperation is required. Immediately access the Claims Administrator Primary Counsel Web Portal at www.browngreer.com/vioxxsettlement. Go to the “Lien Information” tab, and update each of your clients’ profiles to capture which government benefit programs your clients are receiving or have received since their first date of ingestion, and which have provided a notice of claim / lien. In addition, separately scan (in PDF form) all inbound and outbound correspondence with the above-mentioned age
