Ms. Ferrick makes an average of 800 assertions on behalf of the United States each year against third party tortfeasors to recover the reasonable value of medical care and treatment rendered by the United States to military personnel and their family members. Ms. Ferrick will discuss the differences between the United States’ claim and typical liens.
