CASE Audit Settlement Evaluation
e-book

NOTICE TO ATTORNEYS:

I am a contributing author and trained Auditor whose sole purpose is to assist in the reversal of unfair, undervaluation of injury claims.

I am a member of a select group of chiropractic doctors trained as an Auditor and Knowledgeable Observer to independently audit and provide medical validation when it is believed there is an undervaluation of an injury claim with inadequate explanation of the legal and factual basis for so low a valuation. The independent audit is for the correction of any omissions or misstatements of the claim by either the claimant or defense or rebut the engagement of any “Unfair Claim Settlement Practice Acts” or violations of the “Ethics Codes of the Adjuster” that result in unfair, undervaluation of an injury claim.

I am available to audit, consult and provide data to assist plaintiffs' attorneys in the benefits of P.I. Claim Audits to reverse low ball injury claims. I offer free subscriptions to: eBulletin series, eBook, Audit Report, Audit Brochure, Audit Magazine and CLE Accreditation.

I can provide the most thorough education presentation with CLE credits available for Ethics, via screen share or "meet & greet" presentation.

The Medical Records Are the Insurance Company’s Primary Source of Data Which They Use to Determine Settlement Valuation. One of the Single Most Important Considerations That Determine Settlement Valuation is derived from “Value Drivers” and "Decision Points" that Insurance Companies Use to Determine the range of worth of an injury claim. There Are 26 Value Driver sections, and 67,880 decision points. The insurance companies refuse to release their decision points to the public making it difficult to navigate the claim. The audit however, contains a search engine to detect overlooked value drivers and decision points and exchange them in the correct language, format and sequence to interface and input added valuation into the injury claim, and reverse claims that have been undervalued.

We engage a proprietary softwarein our audit process to make the same medical determinations as the insurer's software's. Using ambient intelligence technology, our software features a rare Computer Aided Decision-making functionality (CAD) and Decision Support System (DSS). This ability is no match for the human mind and this technology advancement is a key component of our ability to reverse undervaluation's on injury claims.

As an auditor and 'Knowledgeable Observer', we apply MECE standards to our audits. MECE = Mutually Exclusive / Collectively Exhaustive. This essentially means that we are mutually exclusive as an injury claim auditor and exhaust all methods to audit 26 sections and 60 factors on each claim in order to reverse undervaluations of injury claims.
