Extending the time for filing a medical lien until after a citizen's health insurance has had the chance to process the medical costs ensuring that medical providers get paid a fair value for their services. This also modernizes the 1941 medical lien statute to make it consistent with recent Idaho medical billing statutes. This helps patients by making sure that those who have purchased medical insurance receive the benefits they have purchased while still protecting medical providers.
