A: Medicaid doesn't miss liens. They will have to be repaid out.of your settlement.
Tim Akpinar agrees with this answer
A:
Your attorney will probably touch base with Medicaid near the conclusion of your case. They will want information about your case. Your attorney would then negotiate your lien with them according to the settlement figure of your case. Good luck
