A lawsuit naming an Idaho neurosurgeon over a six-figure medical lien has gone back and forth with lower courts and Idaho Supreme Court, Idaho Statesman reported Aug. 25. But instead of billing the man’s insurer at the time, Dr. Montalbano filed a $183,829.60 lien on any money Mr. DeKlotz might gain from a personal injury claim, according to Idaho Statesman. Mr. DeKlotz hired an injury attorney who argued the lien was illegal under the Idaho Patient Act, according to Idaho Statesman. After the discount was retracted by the claims coordinator, Mr. DeKlotz took them to court. An attorney for Dr. Montalbano and his practice didn’t respond to a request for comment from the Idaho Statesman.
