I contacted our state representative and told her about the accident and how medicare had a lien on anything we received from our insurance company. She wrote back within a few days saying she would be glad to work on it for us and we had to sign a release. We signed the release and just got a call from her office telling us medicare has completely dropped the lien and it is settled. Our insurance adjuster had been working on that since the accident happened and could only get medicare to lower the amount owed to 84000 which is far more then our insurance settlement would cover. So I guess our government is good for something
I personally think the jerk who hit my husband should be on the hook for the full amount of medical expences plus some but he has absolutely nothing of his own and still lives at home with mommy and daddy at 27 (even though he has three kids who he does not support).
