Lien amounts should be the post-negotiation figures your attorney has confirmed — not initial demand amounts. Made-whole, common-fund, and Medicare's procurement-cost reduction routinely produce 20–50% reductions from initial demands.

Contract priority. Per your Instabridge Non-Recourse Purchase Agreement, the funding payoff is subordinate only to attorney fees, case costs, and medical liens. Everything else in the waterfall runs against the Seller's share.
