Medical Lien Services

Southwest Liens offers 2 levels of lien filing services, each designed to fit your specific needs.

Which level of service works best for you will depend on several factors:

  • The number of patients you and your organization treat
  • The number of liens you file
  • Your familiarity with the requirements of Arizona's Medical Lien laws
  • The amount of resources and time you want to devote to protecting your right to recover your medical bills
  • The level and type of technology used to track your patient's admission, treatment, records and bills

Service Level 1

  • We will act as your agent with patients, attorneys and insurance companies
  • We offer online access on a secure website to view your lien progress
  • We will provide monthly lien updates

Service Level 2

For healthcare providers who file few liens or who have a staff to file liens, we can assist your process:
