HB876

Louisiana HB876 amends medical lien laws, allowing healthcare providers to claim up to 20% of litigation costs.

Louisiana HB876 amends existing law to allow healthcare providers, hospitals, or ambulance services to claim up to 20% of litigation costs from the net amount collected from third parties for services provided to injured persons. This bill retains the current privilege for reasonable charges or fees on the net amount payable to the injured person, their heirs, or legal representatives. The privilege of an attorney remains superior to the privilege created under this section.
