This web site is dedicated to teaching attorneys proven techniques that will let you -- or your staff -- quickly and easily organize a medical chart before you send it to a $300 an hour consulting medical expert.

You'll discover powerful step-by-step instructions that will save you hundreds of dollars on expert fees and assure you get the most accurate expert opinion possible.

Organizing your chart isn't something we demand of our clients -- we're happy to do that ourselves. With our flat rate fees the price will be the same to you. But if you work with anyone else we know these secrets will be valuable to you.

   

If money is no object and losing would be OK, stop right now, this information isn't for you. But if you care about your money, and losing is and option you refuse to accept gracefully, consider this real world fact: 99% of the dollars you spend on a consulting medical expert go towards nothing more than getting the expert up to speed on the facts of the case. With the facts in hand, the actual opining takes essentially no billable time at all. Five minutes, tops.

You have an absolute financial imperative to help your expert learn the facts as quickly and efficiently as possible. One simple, affordable, easy way to do this is to send him medical records organized exactly like the familiar medical charts he's been working with for years.

Teaching you how to do that is what this web site is all about.

   

You know an inaccurate expert opinion will cost you money. When attorneys send us unprepared medical charts we routinely find critical make-it-or-break-it information misfiled in places even a reasonable expert might overlook. (Our performance goal isn't "reasonable," it's "anal retentive.") If your expert doesn't see key pages, you'll end up betting on an bad opinion. That will cost you money.

A simple, affordable solution is to organize the records yourself and organize them in a way that makes it impossible for your expert to miss key facts. Teaching you how to do that is what this web site is all about.

Finally, not everyone shares the high professional standards we're proud of at Med-Mal Experts. We've signed up physician-experts dissatisfied with opinion mills that simply mail the consulting doctor a six inch stack of unorganized medical records and a note saying, "You have two hours." At MME we think that's a recipe for disaster and we absolutely will not work that way. But if you are trusting another firm, we think sending well organized records may improve your odds of getting a usable opinion.

   

 Hospital Chart and Office Chart list and explain the sections tabs used to organize a standard medical record. You already know this, but we'll say it anyway: these are guidelines, not statues. It is important for you to organize the medical records, it isn't important for you to follow every jot and tittle of these templates -- though frankly if you do you'll get good results.

You'll find a printable, copy-and-pasteable version of the section tabs at Printable Lists.
