You Treated the Patient. Now Let’s Make Sure You Get Paid
California’s WC lien system is built to delay. And most medical practices don’t have the legal bandwidth to fight back. Med Claims handles everything from the first filing to the final payment, so your team can focus on care while we focus on recovery.
When you treat a workers’ compensation patient, you’ve already done your part. But getting paid for that care is a different battle entirely. This one is fought with RFAs, ICD-10 documentation, lien deadlines, insurer denials, and the occasional lien trail.
Most medical practices aren’t equipped for the fight. Not because they don’t care. But because their time belongs in the clinic, not in the courtroom.
That’s exactly why Med Claims exists to fix.
We are California’s full-service workers’ compensation lien recovery team. One of the few firms that handles your WC liens from first dollar to final payment, backed by a decade of specialized legal experience and a track record that speaks for itself.
We don’t hand you a form and wish you luck. We take complete ownership of your lien pipeline, legally, operationally, and financially.
Our team includes paralegals trained in medical billing and attorneys experienced in California WC law. We handle WC-38 filings, statutory liens, WCAB proceedings, and lien trails, so you never have to.
From ICD-10 coding accuracy to RFA compliance and statutory timeline management, every filing is built to withstand insurer scrutiny. We document everything. And we dispute everything that gets denied.
You get a dedicated physician liaison, a real-time claims dashboard, and clean financial reporting ready for your accounting team. You’ll always know exactly where your money is and when it’s coming.
We specialize in California’s workers’ compensation liens. WC-38 filings, labor code compliance, WCAB strategy, this is what we do, and we do it better than anyone out there.
Over $7 million successfully recovered for California medical providers. That’s a track record built one lien at a time, across specialties, practice sizes, and case complexities.

We only win when you do. There are no upfront retainers, no monthly fees, and no billing surprises. Our success is tied directly to yours.
Every filing is audited internally for accuracy and regulatory compliance. If it doesn’t meet California’s standards, it doesn’t go out the door.
You get a named physician liaison, a paralegal assigned to your account, and attorneys available for escalation. You’ll know who’s working your cases and how to reach them.
Log in to your Med Claims dashboard at any time to see live claim status, projected payment timelines, dispute updates, and recovery reports, without having to call anyone.
Every patient record, every billing document, and every communication is handled in full compliance with HIPAA and California privacy law. Your patients’ data is protected at every step.
We’ve refined this process over a decade and thousands of California WC cases. Here’s how we go from intake to payment, without pulling your team into the weeds.
We start by verifying patient eligibility and injury claim details. From there, we file Requests for Authorization (RFAs), submit properly coded medical bills with accurate ICD-10 documentation, and establish the legal foundation for your lien. Accuracy here prevents denial downstream.
We file your lien with the WCAB, manage all communications with insurance adjusters, respond to denials and billing disputes, and, when necessary, provide full legal representation through lien trials. We don’t hand off when things get complicated. We get more engaged.
When payments come in, we post recoveries to your account, track outstanding balances, and generate clean financial reports formatted for your billing or accounting team. You get a complete picture of every dollar recovered and every dollar still in play.
No. Filing a lien only secures your legal right to pursue payment. It doesn’t guarantee it on its own. What it does is prevent an insurer from closing a claim without addressing your bill. From there, our job is to manage every stage of the process aggressively, from documentation and disputes to negotiations and hearings, to maximize what you recover. The lien is the foundation. We build everything else on top of it.
A denial is not a dead-end. It’s the beginning of the dispute process. We file formal objections, initiate Independent Bill Review (IBR) when appropriate, and escalate to lien trial through the WCAB if necessary. Denials are a routine part of California WC billing, and we’re built to fight them.
During your free case review, we walk you through exactly what’s needed. In most cases, we require patient treatment records, medical billing history, any prior correspondence with the insurer or adjuster, and documentation of any RFAs previously filed. Our team handles the heavy lifting once we have what we need.
In most cases, no. Our attorneys represent your practice at WCAB proceedings and lien trials. Physician testimony is occasionally required in complex disputes, and we’ll prepare and support you fully if that situation arises. Our goal is always to protect your time.
Timelines vary depending on claim complexity, insurer responsiveness, and whether litigation is required. Our streamlined process delivers payments 40% faster than the California WC industry standard. During your case review, we’ll give you a realistic projection based on your specific claims.
Every week an unresolved lien sits unmanaged is another week an insurer isn’t being held accountable. California’s statutory timelines are unforgiving. And once a filing window closes, your right to recovery may close with it.
