A system and method is provided for compensatory invoicing of a patient for health care services rendered by a Health Care Provider. The system and method enables a Health Care Provider to obtain payment of Full Rates for services rendered to a patient in circumstances where a Health Insurance Entity provides less than full-rate compensation (e.g., compensation at Contracted Rates) to the Health Care Provider AND the patient has been reimbursed additionally by another payment party for claims already paid for by the Health Insurance Entity. In one implementation, the patient contracts with the Health Care Provider to ensure that the Health Care Provider is fully compensated for the services rendered after the patient receives payments from a First and/or Third Party Payment Entity (e.g., an auto insurance carrier, worker's compensation insurance carrier, Medpay, PIP etc.) for the services. The invention tracks claim(s) filed by the patient against the First and/or Third Party Payment Entity and tracks payment(s) made by the First and/or Third Party Payment Entity to the patient. The patient and/or the First and/or Third Party Payment Entity is then billed for the difference in payments made to the Health Care Provider by the Health Insurance Entity, effecting compensatory invoicing for a Full Rate fee chargeable by the Health Care Provider in cases when a First and/or Third Payment party has reimbursed the patient for similar services as already reimbursed by the Health Insurance Entity.

A healthcare-related lien network, which is comprised of a computer network, various lien-network members and an owning entity of the network, whom all work together to establish, monitor, recognize and effect payment of a contingency-based, health provider—patient lien, where the patient or a patient's legal representative has billed the health provider's billings to a payer, other than a health insurer, as part of a patient's injury claim. The system and method relating to the healthcare-related lien network has business-to-business and business-to-consumer variations, offering health providers the ability to recover monies, which would have normally been written-off or otherwise uncollected. Additionally, there are payment methods associated with the healthcare-related lien network, allowing the owning entity of the lien network as well as non-health provider members of the lien network, to profit by properly recognizing and dispersing monies relating to satisfying an existing health provider—patient lien, held within the healthcare-related lien network.
