Lien Authorization

1. Authorization scope

The provider authorizes Atlas to coordinate approved lien workflow, treatment-status communication, records requests, billing packet assembly, law-firm status visibility, and supporting operational tasks described in the provider's Atlas onboarding flow.

This authorization is limited to the provider's Atlas-related personal-injury operations and does not transfer ownership of patient records, receivables, liens, billing rights, or clinical decision-making authority.

Atlas may rely on the provider's representations that the provider has the right to offer lien-based care, share the relevant records, and authorize Atlas to facilitate the related administrative workflow.

2. Records, billing, and communications

Atlas may request, organize, transmit, and track records, bills, ledgers, treatment-status updates, lien documents, and related materials that are reasonably necessary to support authorized lien administration and case coordination.

Atlas may communicate with authorized law-firm users, patients, provider workforce users, records vendors, payment processors, and support vendors when reasonably necessary to administer the approved lien workflow.

Providers remain responsible for the accuracy, completeness, legality, and timeliness of the underlying records, billing data, lien notices, releases, and clinical decisions reflected in materials shared through Atlas.

3. Limits of Atlas role

Atlas does not guarantee settlement, lien priority, lien enforceability, payment timing, payer reimbursement, or collection of any provider receivable.

Atlas does not provide legal advice about lien validity, state lien statutes, priority disputes, reductions, settlements, or provider collection strategy.

Any payment-routing, settlement-status, or balance information in Atlas is operational information only and must be verified by the provider before reliance.

4. Provider defense and indemnity

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the provider will defend, indemnify, and hold Atlas harmless from claims, reductions, disputes, penalties, damages, costs, and attorneys' fees arising from lien validity, treatment, records, billing, patient consent, provider instructions, settlement communications, or the provider's failure to comply with law.

Atlas may refuse, pause, or narrow lien administration if Atlas reasonably believes a workflow is unauthorized, inaccurate, disputed, unlawful, unsafe, unpaid, or likely to expose Atlas to legal, billing, privacy, or reputational risk.

5. Revocation and limits

This authorization remains effective while the provider participates in the applicable Atlas workflow unless revoked or superseded in writing.

Revocation does not invalidate actions already taken in reliance on the authorization before Atlas received and processed the written revocation, and it does not remove retention duties for records, audit logs, billing evidence, or active matter wind-down.

After revocation or termination, Atlas may continue limited processing needed to close open workflows, preserve evidence, complete legally required notices, and return or export authorized materials.
