Increasingly, healthcare providers, insurers, medical directors and case managers are turning to Physician Consultants to collaborate on the decision-making process for medical claims.
Cases in the fields of physical medicine, rehabilitation, and pain medicine have very specific issues that require assistance of an independent party. These include matters involving causation, impairment ratings, return to work, work restrictions, and need for ongoing treatment and future medical costs of that treatment.
Our goal is to provide high quality, evidence based, defensible, unbiased, timely, expert file reviews in the fields of physical medicine and rehabilitation and pain medicine. We handle many types of file reviews. Some of these include:
- disability reviews
- peer reviews
- utilization reviews
- second opinions
Conditions that commonly require a file review:
- Spine injuries
- Whiplash Injuries
- Concussion
- Orthopedic Injuries (knee, ankle, shoulder etc.)
- Traumatic and Acquired Brain Injury
- Amputation
- Complex Regional Pain syndrome and nerve injuries
- Multiple Trauma
