Medical Cost Projection

Plan Ahead to Contain Costs

A Medical Cost Projection is an easy to use document that projects future medical needs and costs.  Our Medical Cost Projections involve an analysis of the current treatment regimen in light of evidence-based guidelines and published standards of practice.  We look closely at the medical records in order to take into account any co-morbid and pre-existing conditions.  We analyze how these conditions may impact life expectancy or treatment and identify any treatment unrelated to or exacerbated by the injury/illness. Our medical cost projections are completed from start to finish by highly trained staff all of which are certified and licensed in related fields.  The costs can be calculated using either workers compensation fee schedule, or usual and customary pricing.

Some beneficial uses for Medical Cost Projections include:
