How medical liens work in California

California recognizes hospital liens under Civil Code § 3045.1 et seq. and has one of the most developed lien-medicine markets in the country, with broad availability of doctors, surgery centers, and imaging providers willing to work on medical liens or letters of protection in personal injury cases. MICRA (Civ. Code § 3333.2) caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice but does not apply to third-party PI recoveries.

Do personal-injury providers across California in 30 cities accept medical liens or letters of protection?

Many providers listed here treat personal-injury patients on a medical lien or letter of protection (LOP) — meaning care is delivered and payment is deferred until the case resolves. Look for the “Accepts liens” or “Accepts LOP” tag on a listing, and always confirm the exact terms directly with the provider's office before starting treatment.
