Billing for review and drafting of medical records

Post by tehkris » Mon Apr 23, 2018 4:36 pm

Trying to capture as much time as possible RE: reviewing medical records. I know some firms, bill for cursory review of records, then analysis of the records to pick out what is relevant to plaintiff's alleged injuries, then finally drafting findings in letter/report to client. Thoughts?

bill everything, let the partner write things off, that isn't up to you to decide. As long as you write a concise and accurate narrative you're fine.

The rule of thumb at my firm (med mal defense) is 1.0 for every 100 pages. Bill more if they are handwritten notes, co-defendant records, super pertinent records. Bill for researching any and all medical terms you're unfamiliar with. If you get insurance (collateral source) records, bill for reviewing those by looking up each diagnosis code to determine whether same is relevant. Then bill to demand AZ's for those providers.

Rule of thumb at my firm (med mal) is 1.0 for every 100 pages. Bill more for handwritten records, co-defendant records, and any other records highly relevant to the claims alleged. Then bill for the report. Another tip is to bill for researching each medical term you are not sure of.
