EXPERT WITNESS SERVICES
The consultants of Chirolegal Resources provide expert witness services for both plaintiff and defense attorneys, insurance companies, managed care and utilization review companies, state administrative agencies, and practicing physicians.
As practicing healthcare professionals with extensive legal experience, we bring a new dimension and depth to our testimony, with a greater understanding of the processes, procedures and language of the healthcare industry.
Chirolegal Resources’ attorneys are also practicing healthcare professionals. As such, we are intimately familiar with the many-sided processes and procedures involved in providing medical care. Our experience allows us to discover and understand key issues on which a case can turn. We can either take on your case directly, work with lead counsel to assist with case preparation and strategy, or serve in an expert witness capacity.
Our services include:
- Screening case for merit
- Establishing standards of “reasonable and necessary” treatment
- Establishing standards of “usual and customary” service/fees
- Establishing standards of care and deviation from those standards
- Detecting patterns of fraud and abuse
- Determining causation
- Preparing retrospective and concurrent review of records
- Providing opinion letters
