In a significant New York City case which our office litigated, with a $1.3 million-dollar Medicaid lien against the proceeds the court dismissed the lien in its entirety holding:
“Accordingly, plaintiffs’ motion is granted in accordance with this decision and order to the extent that any settlement proceeds covered by the infant compromise order are determined not to include compensation for past medical expenses to which any Medicaid lien could attach.” Fried v City of New York, 618, 940 N.Y.S.2d 795 (Sup. Ct. Kings County 2012).
