How medical liens and LOPs work in Nevada
Nevada's statutory lien (NRS 108.590–108.660) gives a hospital a lien on damages the injured person recovers from the person responsible for the injury. It is not valid against workers' compensation claims, and it is perfected by recording a notice of lien before any payment and serving it on the responsible party and insurer. The Nevada Supreme Court has held the statutory hospital lien does not attach to the patient's own uninsured-motorist coverage. Non-hospital providers in Nevada — chiropractic, physical therapy, pain management, imaging — generally treat injury patients under a written lien agreement or a letter of protection from the patient's attorney.
This is general information, not legal advice. Lien and LOP terms are explained to you before your first visit.

Do I need a lawyer?
