How it works

From a box of records to answers — in four steps

You keep control of strategy. We turn the medical file into something you can use in a demand, a deposition, or a motion.

1

Upload records

Securely send the medical records — any size, any format. PHI is handled under a signed Business Associate Agreement.

2

AI builds the file

Clinical AI indexes every page, builds a dated chronology, and flags the gaps, contradictions, and records that matter to your theory.

3

Physician signs

A board-certified physician verifies the analysis, applies medical judgment, answers your questions, and signs the opinion.

4

You get the work

A polished chronology and written medical opinion in your inbox — usually 5–7 days, or 48–72 hours on rush.

The difference

The empty middle, filled.

AI tools summarize but can't opine. Physician services opine but can't scale. We are both — in one.

Causation / standard-of-care opinion

The funded AI platforms produce chronologies a lawyer still can't put a medical opinion behind. That signature is the whole point — and it's ours.

Sample case workups

Three fictional, anonymized cases — each showing the full deliverable: AI medical chronology, a board-certified physician opinion, and an AI legal-considerations brief.

Pricing

Transparent, per-case pricing

Flat fees you can pass through or budget cleanly — order a single deliverable, or the full workup: AI analysis + physician opinion + a legal-considerations brief. High-volume firms move to a retainer.

For employers, insurers & disability managers

Records-only medical case review

We review the medical documentation and return work-capacity recommendations — on file, never in person.

Disability / Absence File Review

Review the medical file behind a sick-leave or LTD claim; opine on fitness, return-to-work, and accommodation.

$400 / file

Fitness & Accommodation Review

Translate functional limitations into clear, defensible return-to-work and accommodation recommendations.

from $400 / file

Employer / Defense Opinion

Records-only medical opinion for contested claims, grievances, and accommodation disputes.

from $1,500
The privacy wall is the point. Employers receive fitness, limitations, and return-to-work guidance — never the diagnosis or clinical record. A licensed physician sits between the file and the employer. Quebec work is rendered under the CMQ medical-expertise standard (PIPEDA / Loi 25).
Why ChartCounsel

The only review service that is both the AI and the doctor.

Most options are one half. AI tools summarize records but can't stand behind a medical opinion. Physician services have the signature but read every page by hand — slow and expensive. We collapse both into one.

AI speed, physician judgment

Clinical AI does the heavy reading; a board-certified physician makes the call and signs.

HIPAA from the ground up

PHI is processed under signed BAAs through a HIPAA-eligible pipeline — not a consumer chatbot.

Bilingual, cross-border

English and French records, US and Canadian matters — chronologies and opinions in either language.

Signed by a real physician

Every opinion carries the judgment and signature of a board-certified physician — not an algorithm.

Builds production clinical-AI systems

Your clients' records, handled the right way.

We sign a Business Associate Agreement before any records change hands. PHI is encrypted in transit and at rest and processed through a HIPAA-eligible AI pipeline. Canadian matters are handled under PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25.

FAQ

Questions attorneys ask

Can your physician testify at trial?

Our core service is consulting, non-testifying review — chronologies, analysis, and written medical opinions you use to build the case. Testifying-expert engagements depend on jurisdiction and licensure, and we'll tell you up front, per case, whether we can serve in that role or whether the deliverable is best used as consulting work product.

How fast is turnaround?

Standard is 5–7 business days. Rush (48–72 hours) is available on most services for a 50% premium. Mass-tort and retainer clients get priority queueing.

How do you handle our clients' PHI?

We execute a Business Associate Agreement before receiving any records. PHI is encrypted in transit and at rest and processed only through a HIPAA-eligible pipeline — never a public consumer AI tool.

What record formats do you accept?

PDF, image scans, EHR exports, paper scanned to file — any size. We index and de-duplicate before review, so you don't pay for the same page twice.

Do you work plaintiff and defense?

Both sides — across personal injury, medical malpractice, mass tort, disability, workers' comp, and insurance defense.
