If your office retrieves records, you know there are three facts inherent in gathering personally identifiable information:
Medical record retrieval can be expensive.
The national average to collect a 100 page medical record is $94.33. How much does it cost your staff to do the work versus utilizing a retrieval partner?
Medical record retrieval is time consuming.
According to reputable industry survey the average personal injury professional spends over 200 hours per year dealing with medical records. How much time does a busy litigation professional spend collecting them? Are your labor resources best used collecting and organizing records? Does your vendor have the bandwidth to absorb your workload?
Medical record retrieval requires stringent security technology.
Is your security technology aligned with industry best practices? What’s your firm’s exposure for mishandling information? What security is in place with your vendor?

Time
Retrieving medical records quickly and efficiently takes a certain expertise with significant time resources to navigate the record request and monitor the result. Follow-up is just one key component to gathering information quickly. The average personal injury claim requires records from 9 separate healthcare facilities. If the firm handles just ten cases concurrently that is ninety separate medical records requests to actively monitor to ensure records are retrieved quickly.
The alternative is to not monitor the requests. Not monitoring a retrieval request causes delays impacting scheduling, resolution and client satisfaction. To ensure regular weekly follow-ups a staff member would be required to make 90 or more follow-up attempts each week. If each follow-up were only 10 minutes, that is 15 hours a week just searching for records, all while trying to perform more pressing functions such as summaries, expert witness coordination, document creation and drafting, and court filings on ten different cases.
