Medical specials
Direct answer
Medical specials are the itemized medical charges claimed in a personal injury demand. They are presented per provider, supported by attached billing records, and reconciled against the treatment documented in the chronology so that the claimed total ties exactly to the attached documents.

How specials are presented
| Provider | Service span | Charges | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emergency department | Day of incident | Itemized statement | ED record |
| Imaging center | Study dates | Itemized statement | Radiology reports |
| Physical therapy | Course of care | Visit-level billing | Therapy notes |
| Specialty care | Consult and procedures | Itemized statement | Consult and operative notes |
Reconciliation before presentation
- Sum the attached billing and compare it to the claimed total
- Identify charges with no corresponding treatment note
- Identify documented treatment with no corresponding charge
- Account for adjustments, write-offs and liens
A difference of a few hundred dollars is not a rounding problem in the reviewer's eyes — it is a reason to scrutinize every other figure.
What specials are not
Note
Specials are documented charges. They are not a valuation of the claim, and no multiplier or formula applied to them constitutes a case value. NORBU does not calculate case value.
