Medical Records Review
Comprehensive Medical Record Audits and Expert Medical Reviews
Medical record reviews and audits are a core part of most medical-legal consulting engagements at Kevin Trangle & Associates. Our experienced team carefully evaluates medical records to help individuals, attorneys, insurance professionals, and other stakeholders assess the validity of a claim, the severity of an injury, the appropriateness of treatment, and other key medical and legal issues.
The medical records review may cover such issues as Workers’ Compensation, motor vehicle accidents, personal injury claims, managed care policies and procedures, vocational assessment, functional capacity assessments, neuropsychometric testing, case management consultation, and environmental and toxicology issues, as well as evaluation for pension and disability purposes.
Any need to assess when an individual has the ability to work, or could stay at work and ergonomically perform a job, may also fall within the scope of a medical record review.
KTA has been praised in multiple client testimonials for offering highly detailed independent medical evaluations of medical records which typically include not only the medical history and assessment of existing medical records but also extensive research in medical journals and other relevant publications when necessary. Unlike those of other IME and medical record review providers, reports from KTA are backed by deposition and trial testimony when requested.
