What is medical lien financing?
Medical lien financing is a specialized form of pre-settlement legal funding that directly pays for the medical procedures needed by victims involved in personal injury lawsuits that result from an accident. Medical liens secured by Letters of Protection (LOPs) serve as the backbone of this funding model, helping to finance uninsured or out-of-network patients injured due to negligence. Baker Street Funding specializes in medical lien funding by providing immediate capital to healthcare providers after funding approval.
This enables injured victims to receive high-quality care and allows healthcare providers to perform necessary procedures, knowing that upfront compensation is guaranteed. Overall, this risk-free financial structure eliminates the conventional risks of deferred or missed payments. Once the legal case is settled, the medical lien is paid off, closing the financial loop.
Unlock comprehensive solutions with medical lien funding for personal injury claims.
Managing the financial and legal aspects of medical liens, from inflated surgical costs to payment uncertainties, no longer has to be a point of stress. Baker Street Funding’s legal funding solutions are designed with you—the attorney, the lien-based doctor, and most importantly, the personal injury patient—in mind.

This means we assume all financial risks until your client's personal injury lawsuit reaches a settlement or award. Leverage this risk-free financial structure to instill an extra layer of security for both healthcare providers and patients.
Expedite quality healthcare for your clients
Don't let delays compromise your client's health or legal case. Baker Street Funding provides rapid liquidity for medical care, enabling healthcare providers to give injured parties the immediate medical attention they require.

Ensure continuous treatment
Gaps in treatment can weaken a claim, putting both the patient and the attorney at a disadvantage, especially in cases requiring specialized surgical interventions like spinal fusion or laminectomy, which also demand significant financial resources. With Baker Street Funding's ample capital reserves, you can ensure that ongoing treatments are neither delayed nor skipped due to monetary constraints.
Foster trust through low rates
Elevated funding costs can put a dent in the attorney-client relationship. Baker Street Funding offers medical and surgical lien financing solutions that are both practical and conducive to rate reductions, starting as low as 2.95% per month, non-compounding. The result? A mutually beneficial arrangement— you provide your clients with a financially accessible solution, and you strengthen your professional relationships in the process.
Remain reduction friendly
By offering direct payment to providers, Baker Street Funding enables surgical and medical lien funding solutions that are cost-effective. This approach not only often results in reduced surgery costs but also prevents inflated medical bills. Consequently, it establishes a financially prudent choice for medical professionals, attorneys, and their clients.

Frequently asked questions about medical lien funding.
What's the Difference Between Medical Liens and Surgery Funding?
When it comes to covering medical expenses in the context of a personal injury lawsuit, two primary options exist: medical liens and surgery funding. Each has its own set of implications for both the patient and the healthcare provider.
Medical Liens: In a medical and hospital lien arrangement, a healthcare facility claims a portion of the patient’s future legal settlement or jury award to cover the cost of medical services rendered. While this option provides access to care, it often comes with a limitation: the healthcare provider may cease further treatments until the existing bills tied to the lien are settled. This can be particularly restrictive for patients requiring ongoing medical care.
Surgery Funding: Surgery funding offers an alternative that can prevent the need to delay medical treatment. Here, healthcare providers are paid upfront once the patient’s case is approved. This allows uninterrupted medical care, irrespective of the lawsuit’s status.
How Does Medical Financing Benefit Healthcare Providers?
Lien-based surgery financing serves as a form of financial protection for healthcare providers. It allows them to extend a comprehensive array of services—from diagnostic tests to surgical procedures—without the looming concern of deferred compensation or payment defaults.
What Advantages Does Medical Lien Funding Offer to Attorneys?
With lien-based medical treatment financing, attorneys can ensure their clients not only get timely and adequate medical treatment but also substantiate their legal claims more convincingly. This approach amplifies the case’s value by underwriting the medical evidence required to validate damages.
What Are the Advantages For Personal Injury Plaintiffs?
Plaintiffs benefit by gaining fast access to healthcare services without the financial burden of out-of-pocket expenses. This enables them to access the all-encompassing care essential for complete recovery.
What Makes Medical Funding Cost-Effective?
The negotiated cash value for medical procedures is generally lower than standard medical lien costs. It’s a cost-effective solution for all parties involved.
How Are These Liens Repaid?
The attorney handling the case repays the liens upon the lawsuit’s resolution—be it a personal injury settlement or damages award.
