Comparison Charts: Medical Bills and Insurance Claims Reports
At times the insurance claims report from the client’s health insurance company does not quite match up with the itemized statements obtained from the providers.
For subrogation purposes it is important that these 2 items match. And for your list of damages sometimes there are ancillary charges that are revealed in the claims report.
I can prepare a comparison chart of these 2 lists by date of service, identify charges on the health insurance claims summary that are not related to the accident and/or identify charges related to the accident that have not been captured by the claims summary.
The chart can show date of service, provider name, description of treatment or type of visit, amount the provider billed insurance, amount paid by insurance, amount paid by client and adjustments.
Medical Expert Notebooks
Experts and treating physicians are thrilled to have all of the pertinent medical records organized in a notebook with a table of contents and the medical summary at the front of the notebook in order to prepare for a deposition or testimony.
