To warn others about non-standard billing practices tied to personal injury cases and to raise awareness about potential overcharging under a lien-based model.
- - Lien over $90,000; $35,000+ questionable charges.
- - Billing based on settlement value; no procedures.
- - Billing across four Goodlife entities in CA.
I received treatment through a chiropractic group Goodlife Physical Medicine and Goodlife Surgery Center as part of a personal injury claim. Later, I was issued a lien exceeding $90,000, which seemed unusually high given the type and scope of care provided.
On closer review, I flagged over $35,000 in questionable or unsupported charges, including duplicate billing and charges that were processed through multiple business entities tied to the same provider group.
Rather than follow standard medical billing practices, the provider stated in writing that the charges were calculated based on the expected value of the legal settlement, not on documented procedures or industry-standard rates.
This equity-based billing approach raises serious concerns especially for patients unaware this model is being used.
When I questioned the billing, the response included legal jargon including vague claims about libel, and the assertion that refunds would constitute illegal kickbacks, despite clear lien documentation showing patient liability. Efforts to reach a fair resolution were met with dismissals and a low-ball offer far below the disputed amount.
This experience highlights the risks of lien-based care, particularly when billing is handled across multiple entities including:
Goodlife Management Services, LLC
Goodlife Physical Medicine Corp
Goodlife Surgery Center, LLC
With four locations Torrance, Redondo Beach, El Segundo, and Seal Beach patients may not realize what theyre agreeing to until much later.
I'm sharing this to warn others, encourage accountability, and call for oversight of this billing model before more people are impacted.

Preferred solution: Price reduction
User's recommendation: Do not accept vague answers. Insist that all procedural costs be benchmarked against private insurance rates — not left open to interpretation. Carefully review every document before starting care, especially under a lien. Ask how charges are calculated and whether multiple corporate entities will be billing you. If they can’t give you a straight answer, walk away. What looks like routine care can later become a six-figure lien tied to your legal settlement. They claimed they were liable for the costs — but so was I — and that fact was conveniently ignored when the bill came due. Because once the bill lands, you have another fight to endure — not just legal, but financial, emotional, and personal. What they are doing is wrong. They are taxing people at low points in their lives — after injury, when they’re vulnerable — and disguising it as care. These people are not your friends. If one facility won’t offer transparency, there are others that will. Protect yourself — before it’s too late.

Your post is unclear about time frame and length till settlement (if one occurred yet). The industry and standard medical billing practices don’t apply here.
The standard practice for example is a $25000 hospital/doctor bill of $25K gets billed between you and your insurance. Usually within 30 days the insurance pays their part then you have 30 more (interest free) to pay any balance. In your case the practice is carrying the bill. Care Credit, a common payment plan operates at 32.99% APR.
The practice is imposing a similar rate to your balance. Let’s assume again a $25K bill. Let’s say two years to settlement. That $25K generates a carrying cost (industry standard 32.99%) of $687/month.
At the end of two years the interest alone is $16K. That totals $41K. So your claim for the same procedure is 40% higher vs.
a commercial, medical-industry standard payment system. Your attorney should have explained this.
