Garnishment Protection

One potential issue that can arise after settlement is garnishment from creditors. When settling, injured individuals might not be thinking about how these funds may be impacted by divorce, child support payments, federal/state tax levy, or defaulted student loans. Medical funds from a settlement are to be used for future medical care, in accordance with Medicare Secondary Payer rules.

As an Ametros CareGuard member, individuals have our support to negate any garnishment attempt on the funds, as government agencies must directly interact with Ametros prior to any garnishment payment from the account and cannot access the account where the funds are being held without consultation with Ametros representatives.
