3. HIPAA & Medical Records
Integrative Lien recognizes the sensitivity of medical information involved in personal injury cases. All protected health information (“PHI”) submitted to us — whether by an attorney, provider, or patient — is handled in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and stored within secure, access-controlled document management systems.
Authorized Access Only: Medical records and case files are accessible only to authorized Integrative Lien personnel directly involved in case coordination, underwriting, or records management.
Patient Authorization: PHI is shared with third parties (including healthcare providers and law firms) only as necessary to coordinate treatment and case resolution, or as authorized by the patient or their legal representative.
4. Information Sharing
We do not sell personal or medical information to third parties. Information may be shared in the following limited circumstances:
- With Participating Providers: To facilitate referrals, treatment coordination, and billing for an active case.
- With Referring Attorneys: To support case management, documentation requests, and settlement coordination.
- With Service Providers: Third-party vendors who support our secure records infrastructure, subject to confidentiality obligations.
- As Required by Law: Where disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, court order, or applicable regulation.
5. Data Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal and medical information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These safeguards include encrypted document storage, access-controlled intake portals, and routine internal audits of our records management systems. While we work to protect all information in our care, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to support basic site functionality, remember preferences, and understand general usage patterns. These technologies do not collect medical information and are limited to general website analytics. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies; however, some features of our website may not function properly as a result.
7. Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your role and applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal or medical information we hold related to your case;
- Request correction of inaccurate information;
- Request that we limit certain uses or disclosures of your information, subject to legal and contractual obligations related to active cases;

8. Data Retention
We retain case files, medical records, and lien documentation for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, including the duration of an active legal case and any applicable retention period required by law, healthcare recordkeeping regulations, or our internal compliance policies. Once retention obligations have been satisfied, records are securely destroyed or de-identified.
Terms of Service
9. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Integrative Lien website, submitting a case, or otherwise engaging with our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please discontinue use of our website and services.
10. Description of Services
Integrative Lien provides medical lien coordination services that connect personal injury attorneys, their clients, and credentialed healthcare providers. Our services include case review, provider placement, documentation coordination, secure records management, and settlement-based lien resolution. Integrative Lien does not provide medical care directly and is not a law firm; we act solely as a coordination and administrative service between the parties involved in a personal injury case.
11. Eligibility & Accounts
Our services are intended for use by licensed attorneys, law firm staff, credentialed healthcare providers, and patients referred through a participating attorney. By submitting information through our intake forms, you represent that:
- You are at least 18 years of age or are submitting information on behalf of a represented client with appropriate authorization;
- All information provided is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge;
- You have the legal authority to submit case, medical, or provider information on behalf of the relevant party.
12. Lien & Payment Terms
Treatment coordinated through Integrative Lien is provided under a lien-based funding arrangement. Under this arrangement:
- Qualified patients receive medical treatment without upfront payment;
- Outstanding medical liens are satisfied directly from the proceeds of a successful legal settlement, judgment, or other case resolution;
- Specific lien amounts, terms, and repayment obligations are governed by individual lien agreements executed between the patient, provider, and/or attorney involved in each case;
- Integrative Lien does not guarantee the outcome, value, or timeline of any legal case, and lien satisfaction is contingent upon case resolution.
Nothing on this website constitutes a lien agreement. All lien terms are documented separately in writing and signed by the applicable parties prior to the commencement of treatment.
13. Provider Network Terms
Healthcare providers participating in the Integrative Lien network agree to maintain valid licensure and credentials, provide care consistent with accepted medical standards, submit accurate and timely documentation for referred cases, and comply with applicable billing and lien terms outlined in their provider agreement. Integrative Lien reserves the right to review, suspend, or terminate a provider’s participation in the network for failure to meet these standards or for conduct that compromises patient care, case integrity, or compliance obligations.
14. Disclaimers
The information provided on this website is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal or medical advice. Integrative Lien makes no representations or warranties regarding the outcome of any legal case, the suitability of any particular healthcare provider, or the timing of case review, provider placement, or settlement resolution. All services are provided on an “as available” basis.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Integrative Lien and its officers, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the use of our website or services, including but not limited to delays in case review, provider placement, treatment outcomes, or settlement timing. Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms shall not exceed the amount, if any, paid by you directly to Integrative Lien for the services giving rise to the claim.
16. Governing Law
These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Integrative Lien is headquartered, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within that jurisdiction.
17. Changes to These Terms
Integrative Lien may update this Privacy Policy and these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page indicates when these terms were most recently revised. Continued use of our website or services following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
