IPM provides liquidity solutions to healthcare providers who treat personal-injury (PI) patients under Letters of Protection (LOPs). Instead of waiting 12–36 months for reimbursement tied to legal settlements, providers receive 30–50% of the net collectible value within 24–72 hours. IPM purchases or finances PI medical receivables secured by third-party liens and manages all downstream collections.
Non-debt structure: Advances are tied to receivables, not credit.
PI-specific underwriting: Built on 25+ years of PI legal and medical finance expertise.
Faster funding: 24–72 hour turnaround.
Transparent pricing: Clear origination and collection fees, no hidden costs.
Proprietary analytics: Improve pricing, risk scoring, and collections outcomes.

Medical lien–backed receivables represent payments owed to accident victims in an automobile accident, also known as personal injury cases. Instead of receiving immediate payment from insurers, providers treat patients under a medical lien—a legal claim on the future settlement or judgment proceeds. Investors can purchase or finance these receivables at a discount, earning returns when the underlying cases resolve.
Step-by-step workflow:
Treatment & LOP: Provider treats patient under Letter of Protection.
Invoice Submission: Provider sends PI receivables to IPM.
Underwriting: IPM assesses lien validity, attorney strength, case details, and expected recovery.
Funding: IPM advances 30–50% of net collectible value within 1–3 days.
Settlement & Collection: At case resolution, the law firm pays IPM from its trust account.
Final Distribution: Provider receives remaining balance minus agreed fees.
Providers often face reimbursement delays from insurers, particularly for accident-related care. Medical liens ensure payments when the case settles. Selling or financing their lien-backed receivables provides immediate liquidity to support operations, payroll, and growth while treating patients without waiting months—or years—for settlement resolution.
Immediate liquidity for payroll, rent, equipment, and expansion
Reduced administrative workload through outsourced lien management
Predictable revenue cycles in an uncertain reimbursement environment
Capacity to treat more PI patients without cash-flow bottlenecks
No debt added to their balance sheet
Providers with consistent PI patient volume and $100K+ in monthly PI receivables, including:

DME companies
Ambulance & medical transport services
Timing depends on the pace of each legal case, typically 12–36 months. Factors include court timelines, discovery periods, litigation, negotiation process, and insurance carrier responsiveness.
Contrary to common assumptions, these receivables are not paid by health insurers like Aetna or BlueCross. They are paid by law firms from settlements negotiated with automotive liability insurers (State Farm, Allstate, Geico, etc.). Funds are distributed from the attorney's trust account directly to IPM.
InjuryPro Capital's specialized department monitors each case's progress every 90 days, verify attorney cooperation, and collect payments upon settlement.
Lien-backed receivables often cover orthopedic surgery, pain management, imaging (MRI/CT), physical therapy, and chiropractic care—services frequently required after motor vehicle accidents or personal injury events.
Yes. Medical liens are governed under state personal injury and healthcare lien statutes. Compliance requires proper documentation, disclosure, and adherence to local regulations governing lien enforcement and settlement distribution.
Key risks include:
Timing: Legal cases can take longer than expected to resolve.
Underwriting: Weak or missing lien documentation may delay payment.
Payment Delays: Payment relies on attorney cooperation during disbursement.
Well-structured portfolios mitigate these risks through diversification, attorney vetting, and underwriting standards.
Risk mitigation strategies include:
Partnering with established law firms and medical groups
Diversifying across hundreds of liens, jurisdictions, and case types
Using conservative loan-to-value (LTV) ratios
Employing experienced legal collections and case-tracking teams
