Health Insurance Plan Reimbursement from Auto Wreck Settlement

Health Insurance Plan Reimbursement from Auto Wreck Settlement

When you signed up for health insurance at work did they tell you that if you get a in car wreck, you will have to pay your own medical expenses? Burt True, a lawyer with True & Associates, discusses insurance subrogation. Subrogation is when your health insurance plan claims they get paid back for the medical expenses they paid before you get paid for your injuries. Missouri (and other states) prohibit the assignment of personal-injury claims. In a recent case, Scroggins v. Red Lobster (2010), a woman agreed to a settlement with Red Lobster after she fell there. But, her employer, St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, claimed that its health insurance plan gets paid back out of her settlement. The court said, “Missouri courts have never allowed a provider to be reimbursed for medical expenses that the insured recovers in a settlement from a liable third party under a lien theory, and we declined to do so now.” But, your health insurance plan does not stop there. They want a way around state law. So they go to the feds. They get qualified under a federal law called ERISA. ERISA stands for Employee Retirement Income Security Act. Since federal law trumps state law, the health insurance plan claims it can still get paid back even though state law prevents this. Now it gets complicated. ERISA does preempt state law, but there are exceptions listed in the federal law. One exception is state insurance law. But then there is an exception to the exception called the Deemer Clause …

Morgenthaler Ventures Announces Finalists of the 2012 DC to VC: HIT Startup Showcase

Posted on by


Menlo Park, CA (PRWEB) September 18, 2012

Morgenthaler Ventures, a premier venture capital firm, Health 2.0, the conference that showcases the leading new technologies in healthcare, announced today the 13 finalists for their nation-wide contest to find the most promising health IT startups looking for Seed and Series A funding. The 13 company founders will present in front of leading venture capitalists, angel investors, government officials and entrepreneurs on the last day of the annual Health 2.0 conference on October 10, 2012 in San Francisco, CA. Attendees will also hear from Jeff Tangney, CEO of Doximity and founder of Epocrates on building health IT startups and former Congressman Patrick J. Murphy on the upcoming implementation of healthcare reform.

“I started this conference three years ago, when we invested in Practice Fusion, because the emerging opportunities in Health IT were still relatively ignored for investors in Silicon Valley,” said Rebecca Lynn, Partner at Morgenthaler Ventures and head of the firm’s health IT investing team. Since then, we have seen an explosion in the space. We are proud to welcome Jeff Tangney, CEO of Doximity, to our investment portfolio as he has a long track record in health IT and will have many lessons to share with the young entrepreneurs who are just starting out in the room.

This year, the contest held open applications for Series A venture back-able health IT companies. The Seed stage candidates were submitted by accelerator partners: Rock Health, Blue Print Health, Healthbox and Startup Health.

“The pipeline for health IT startups has never been more full thanks to our accelerator partners who are pushing tech entrepreneurs into the space, said Missy Krasner, Executive in Residence (EIR) at Morgenthaler Ventures and former Google Health founding member. We received over 140 applications this year and many aligned with the areas in the industry we mapped out for our own investing thesis at Morgenthaler. Because of that, it was difficult for our pre-selection judges to narrow down the finalist list and that is why we have some honorable mentions this year too.
