As a result of M&F’s extensive work using New York’s lien laws, the firm has developed intimate knowledge of the interaction between federal lien rules and rights of recovery and how recoveries in third-party actions in New York intersect with Medicare, Medicaid and the ERISA statutes.  The firm frequently consults with insurance carriers and providers on how to address federal lien claims and the impact on workers’ compensation and no-fault benefits as well as how the same impact the resolution of complex third-party actions.
