FAQ

Common questions

What is a record review and written opinion?

IconIcon

An expert reviews the medical record and provides a written opinion on the questions in your case without an in-person examination.

How fast can I get the written opinion?

IconIcon

Ten business days is standard for a record review. If your matter needs something different, tell us at intake.

When should I choose a record review instead of an evaluation?

IconIcon

When the questions can be answered from the record alone and no exam is required. If an exam would strengthen the opinion, we will say so.

Can the opinion be used at deposition or trial?

IconIcon

Yes. It is written in a litigation-ready format, and testimony is available if the matter proceeds.
