About Merschbrock Law

Clayton has spent more than a decade in the lien resolution and healthcare recovery space, resolving thousands of lien and subrogation matters nationwide. His work has eliminated or reduced hundreds of millions of dollars in asserted recoveries, ensuring injury victims keep more of their settlement and that attorneys avoid costly compliance pitfalls.

He has extensive experience handling every category of healthcare lien, subrogation, and reimbursement claims, including ERISA and FEHBA plans, Medicare, Medicaid, VA, Tricare, Workers’ Compensation, Disability Plans, Hospital Liens, and medical provider balances.

Clayton began his career on the ground floor as a Subrogation Analyst, eventually becoming a Subrogation & Litigation Attorney for the nation’s largest post-payment healthcare recovery vendor. There, he advised benefit plans, managed complex recovery litigation, and negotiated thousands of reimbursement claims.

Since transitioning to the plaintiff’s side in 2019, he has leveraged that insider knowledge to advocate for injury victims and partner firms, strategically reducing lien burdens and maximizing net recovery. Today, Clayton speaks and teaches across the country – delivering CLEs, presentations, and training to help attorneys navigate the increasingly complex world of subrogation and lien resolution.
