Frequently Asked Questions
-
Basic reports, created after completing our questionnaire, are typically returned within 24 hours.
For limited and extended reports, which require additional steps such as reviewing medical records, creating medical chronologies, and consulting with the client, the process takes a bit longer. We aim to deliver these reports within 2 weeks, if not sooner.
-
A Non-Covered Allocation is a companion report to the Medicare Set-Aside Allocation (MSA). Many people mistakenly believe that the MSA serves as a comprehensive life care plan or a full-cost projection.
However, the MSA only identifies future medical costs covered by Medicare, omitting many non-Medicare-covered items your client would have to pay out of pocket.
The Non-Covered Allocation addresses these items, ensuring you and your client have a complete picture of future medical expenses when negotiating a settlement.
-
No, these reports are intended for mediation and demand packages only. If your case does not settle in mediation, we can prepare a testifying life care plan for trial.
-
Cost projections and life care plans are fundamentally different reports. A cost projection is a consulting report, while a life care plan is a testifying report. They are not interchangeable, and a cost projection is not a mini-life care plan. Each report follows its own accepted methodology.
A cost projection is based on doctor recommendations, medical records review, client interviews, and standard care treatment. A life care plan suitable for trial includes all the above plus conferences with all treating doctors, physician sign-off sheets, and formal life care planning methodology.
-
For Workers' Compensation cases, we use state-specific life expectancy charts (when available) and state-specific Workers' Compensation fee schedules.
For Personal Injury cases, we use state-specific life expectancy charts (when available) and the Usual and Customary fee schedule.
-
To determine if your client is affected by MSP regulations, consider the following questions for all cases:
1: Is your client currently a Medicare beneficiary due to age or disability?
2: Is your client 62.5 years old or older?
3: Has your client applied for SSDI?
4: Does your client have end-stage renal disease, AIDS, blindness, or ALS?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, your client is impacted by MSP regulations. This applies to both Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury/Liability cases.
