In Young v. Columbia Southwestern Medical Center, 1998 OK CIV APP 124, 964 P.2d 987, the Oklahoma Health Care Authority paid medical expenses, pursuant to approved medicaid benefits, for a baby who sustained damages at birth and later died. The parents of the baby filed a wrongful death action against the hospital and the claim was settled for $ 500,000. OHCA then sought to enforce its statutory lien for repayment of the medical expenses it paid. In Young, this court noted that 63 O.S.Supp. 1996 5051.1 provided OHCA a lien to recover expenses it has paid when the payee receives a settlement or judgment sufficient to pay both the payee's counsel fees and the lien. The Court expressly held that Youngblood is inapplicable to a case involving a statutory lien. Id.
