Medical Billing Analysis
Produces a litigation-ready analysis of medical records and billing data for personal injury cases. Every finding is cited to a specific document and page. Output supports demand packages, mediation statements, and trial preparation.
Quick Start
- Gather records and billing from the user (or confirm what's uploaded)
- Build document inventory and medical timeline
- Analyze billing, check reasonableness, trace causation
- Flag red flags, deliver structured report
- Align with user on gaps and next steps
Intake (Mandatory)
Ask every time unless user says "use defaults" or "just draft":
- Medical records — treatment notes, diagnostics, surgical records, discharge summaries, pharmacy records
- Billing statements — itemized bills from all providers, EOBs, insurance payment records
- Incident information — date, mechanism of injury, pre-existing condition history
- IME or peer review reports (if available)
Request if missing: provider itemized bills (not just totals), EOBs, lien statements (Medicare/Medicaid/ERISA/hospital), pre-incident records if pre-existing conditions at issue, life care plan if available.
Defaults when user doesn't respond: analyze all provided records chronologically; flag treatment gaps > 30 days; separate billed vs. paid; identify causation statements. Label defaults clearly.
Flag missing materials explicitly and proceed with what's available.
Workflow
1. Document Inventory
Classify each document:
| Category |
Examples |
| Emergency/acute care |
ER records, ambulance reports |
| Inpatient |
Hospital admissions, surgical notes |
| Outpatient/specialist |
Orthopedic, neurological, pain management |
| Diagnostic imaging |
X-ray, MRI, CT reports |
| Therapy |
PT, OT, chiropractic, psychological |
| Pharmacy |
Prescription records, medication logs |
| Billing/financial |
Itemized bills, EOBs, lien statements |
| IME/peer review |
Defense or insurance medical evaluations |
2. Medical Timeline
Build chronological table with: Date, Provider/Facility, Visit Type, Diagnoses (ICD), Procedures (CPT), Key Findings, Restrictions/Prognosis.
Flag: gaps > 30 days, diagnosis changes, new providers/referrals, causation statements by treating physicians, pre-existing condition references, work/activity restrictions.
3. Billing Analysis
Catalog charges with: Date, Provider, CPT/Code, Description, Billed, Insurance Paid, Adjustment, Patient Owed.
Summarize totals by category: emergency, hospitalization/surgery, imaging, therapy, medications, mental health, ongoing/future care.
4. Reasonableness Review
For each major charge category, verify:
- Charges consistent with geographic/specialty norms
- No duplicate billing for same service/date
- All billed services have corresponding documentation
- Treatment consistent with documented diagnoses
- No unrelated-condition charges without explanation
5. Causation Analysis
- Direct causation — quote treating physicians verbatim with doc/page citations
- Pre-existing conditions — documented history; aggravation vs. new injury distinguished
- Conflicting opinions — disagreements between treating, IME, and peer reviewers
- Treatment necessity — provider statements on reasonable and necessary care
6. Red Flags
Flag items requiring attorney attention in a table: Issue, Details, Source (doc/page), Suggested Action.
Common flags: treatment gaps, billing without documentation, causation disputes, charges above area norms.
7. Final Report
Deliver a single report with these sections:
Front matter (required):
- Documents reviewed with date ranges
- Assumptions and limitations
- Open items (requested but not received)
Body:
- Document Inventory
- Medical Timeline (chronological table)
- Treatment Summary (narrative: injuries, treatment course, current status)
- Billing Summary (category totals with line-item detail available)
- Causation Analysis (supported chain with citations)
- Issues and Red Flags (table with recommended actions)
- Expert Needs (life care planner, billing expert, medical specialist)
Post-Draft Alignment (Mandatory)
After delivering the initial analysis, ask:
- Additional providers or records not yet received?
- Client explanations for treatment gaps?
- Specific causation disputes to analyze deeper?
- Future care cost projection needed?
If no response, recommend obtaining missing provider records and proceed if authorized.
Quality Checklist
Rules
- Cite document and page for every factual finding
- Never opine on liability or damages awards
- Distinguish treating physician documentation from IME/defense opinions
- Flag but do not resolve billing disputes — identify for attorney review
- Do not invent findings, diagnoses, causation opinions, or citations
- Include scope notice: "Draft analysis requiring attorney review. Figures based on provided documentation and stated assumptions."
