C.R.S.
Section 38-27.5-108
Priority of health-care provider liens
(1)
The holder of a health-care provider lien may file a record of its health-care provider lien by following the provisions set forth in the “Colorado Statutory Lien Registration Act”, article 9.7 of title 4, including listing the name and address of the injured person, the date of the accident or incident, the name and address of the holder of the health-care provider lien, and the name and address of each health-care provider that rendered health-care services underlying the health-care provider lien.(2)
In the event multiple health-care provider liens are asserted against an injured person’s net judgment, settlement, or payment, health-care provider liens for which records were filed pursuant to article 9.7 of title 4 shall have priority for payment out of the injured person’s net judgment, settlement, or payment before payments are made on health-care provider liens for which no such records were filed. In the event multiple records have been filed pursuant to article 9.7 of title 4 for health-care provider liens related to a single accident or incident, priority for payment out of the injured person’s net judgment, settlement, or payment on each such lien shall be determined by the dates the records were filed, with the health-care provider lien having the earliest filed record receiving priority over those with subsequently filed records.(3)
Filing a record of a health-care provider lien under this section is optional and the sole purpose thereof is to establish the priority of payments between multiple health-care provider liens. Filing a record of a health-care provider lien pursuant to article 9.7 of title 4 does not waive any of the statutory provisions established in this article 27.5.
