Record retrieval solutions
Veterans Affairs Medical Records Requests
We retrieve medical records nationwide for VA attorneys’ cases
Do these records retrieval challenges sound familiar?
- The records we receive from providers are sometimes incomplete - As with any electronic system, there's a possibility that not all records are updated or available. Ensuring that the retrieved records are comprehensive is crucial for legal proceedings.
- We encounter difficulties locating different Medical Records Offices - The process to find the contact information for the VA health facility’s medical records office involves navigating through the health facility’s website, which can be time-consuming.
- Potential for records at different locations - If a veteran gets care at a Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) or Outpatient Clinic (OPC), the records might not be at the clinic. Attorneys might need to request the records from a VA medical center instead, adding another layer to the retrieval process.
- We work on a contingency basis and need faster turnaround times to maintain profitability - Records retrieval requests sometimes take a long time, hurting your business’s ability to serve more clients and negatively impacting your clients’ overall experience.
