Consider the strategic value of high quality medical record analysis and how the outcome of your claim often hinges on the information contained in these reports. A worthy records review partner will allow your team to achieve better results in less time by expertly analyzing the information contained in the medical records and providing your team with a roadmap to the medically related elements of your case. When evaluating the caliber of medical records management companies, pay attention to the following criteria.
• Experience- The medical record management service you choose should not be the "new kid on the block." You would not trust a law student to determine the value or exposure your client has in a claim, would you? That said, experience is a requirement. Qualified medical legal services should contain a host of legal nursing consultants, billing auditors and life care planners who have spent years in the field dealing with patients and have also become experts of the legal issues surrounding injury litigation. Select a company with Legal Nurse Consultants that possess writing and analytical skills that allow them to clearly identify and convey the intricate medical and legal complications of each case. Choose a MR management company with service diversity that includes billing auditors that not only evaluate when bills are within the usual and customary but also identify inconstancies in the billing and medical records of a patient. Qualified bill auditors and coders will prove to be skilled forensic investigators of medical records. Finally, your MR analysis partner should have access to Life Care Planning experts who combine experience in patient care and implementing life care plans as well as generating them to produce strong, testifiable plans with projected future care needs and the associated costs. These plans place a monetary value on future medical damages to take into consideration when determining settlement figures.
