Deductions & credits

The medical lien is a legal claim against a secured asset and as such it has no innate value.  However, and to follow-up on the comments from @Opus 17, in 2021, the IRS allows all taxpayers to deduct their qualified unreimbursed medical care expenses that exceed 7.5% of their adjusted gross income. You must itemize your deductions on IRS Schedule A in order to deduct your medical expenses.
