With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". the hospital an independent cause of action against the third party tortfeasor.” Id. at *6, *13. One court considering situations similar to those before this court has come to the opposite conclusion. Rogalla v. Christie Clinic, P.C. relied on language in the agreement between the provider and the insurer to conclude that the clinic “reserve[d] [its] statutory right to seek relief from third-party tortfeasors” by “subro-gatfing] the claims of plaintiff.” 341 Ill. App.3d 410, 276 Ill.Dec. 489, 794 N.E.2d 384, 392 (4 Dist.2003). The court then held that a hospital’s statutory lien was not based on the patient’s debt to the healthcare provider, but rather on the debt of the third-party tortfeasor to the patient and the provider. Id. We decline to adopt this approach. Ms. Morga Tex.1998) (<HOLDING>); Wright v. First Nat'l Bank in Albuquerque,

A: holding that where hospital used balance billing its lien was unenforceable because the hospital had been paid in full for the services it provided to patient and there was consequently no debt to secure by the existence of the lien
B: holding that because the contract between the hospital and the health insurance company had a hold harmless provision which stated the hospital would not bill or hold insurance subscribers liable for any hospital expenses covered by the subscribers insurance contract and all expenses from the patients treatment for the automobile accident were covered in such contract there was no debt upon which the hospital could assert a lien pursuant to the states hospital lien statute
C: holding that where hospital used balance billing that since the hospital had already received payments from the patient and his health insurer and had agreed to accept that amount as payment in full for its services there was no longer any amount owing to the hospital and thus it could not assert a statutory hospital lien for the difference between its charges and the amount received in light of the negotiated network agreements
D: holding that under nebraskas physicians lien statute a physicians lien could not exceed the amount the health care provider agreed to accept for the services rendered to a patient even if the usual and customary charge for such services is greater than that sum because the statute extends such lien only to the amount due or debt of the patient to the hospital
