Medical record review

Medical record review

Direct answer

Medical record review for demand preparation asks four questions of the file: is it complete, is treatment continuous or explained, are the providers consistent with one another, and does the billing reconcile to documented care. Reading the records front to back answers none of these reliably — each requires a comparison across documents.

Four review passes

01

Completeness

Every provider named, every billed service, every ordered study — present or requested.

02

Continuity

Intervals identified, referrals followed, escalations sequenced.

03

Consistency

Histories, mechanism and complaints compared across providers.

04

Reconciliation

Billing matched to documented dates of service.

What review should surface

  • Records referenced but absent
  • Prior conditions in the same body region
  • Inconsistent mechanism descriptions between providers
  • Charges without a corresponding note
  • Recommended care that was never pursued or documented

Review is not adjudication

Note

Review reports what the documents contain and where they conflict. Deciding what those facts mean for the claim is attorney work.

NORBU Demand provides analytical support for counsel. It does not determine legal value, predict settlement outcomes, or provide legal advice. Every observation is presented for attorney review.
