Before the payment of any money to the injured person, the personal representative of the injured person or to a legal representative as compensation for injuries received, record a notice of lien, substantially in the form prescribed in NRS 108.620, containing an itemized statement of the amount claimed. The notice of lien must be filed with:
(a) The county recorder of the county wherein the hospital is located; and
