Medicare and Medicaid are allowed a subrogation lien on any settlement proceeds relating to the injury that they paid benefits on your behalf. This is a super lien meaning that the attorney handling the case will be personally liable if he doesn't protect the Medicare lien. However if your Medicare treatment did not relate in any way to your accident case then there should be no lien. Discuss in detail with your attorney who is handling your case. If you are not represented then you should seek representation immediately.
