Contactless and Safe! From Scheduling to Signing to Settlement

May 12, 2020 by cphealth

We all want to make sure we take the utmost caution to keep everyone safe while still providing excellent service as we all begin to discover our new ways of doing business.

CP Healthcare was on the forefront of e-sign, digital order forms, and on-line settlements from our start in 2014. It’s a strategy we helped push in our industry and one many have attempted to copy with self-serving portals that allows you only to use their expensive funding services.

So what are the simple and safe ways CP can help you and your clients?

 

On-Line Scheduling

You can access our ON-LINE RX FORM 24 hours a day and seven days a week. We have access to every imaging center in Georgia and hundreds in each state throughout the nation. Our philosophy is to choose the closest imaging center to the client’s/patient’s home address (or what the patient needs). But we also allow you as the medical provider and attorney to make a choice. If you have an established relationship with an imaging center, just indicate this on the order form. CP Healthcare will take care of the rest. Simple. Safe. Contactless. Fast. You can still fax us at (706) 256-3454 or send us an email at cph@cypresspartners.com. But this on-line form makes it super easy.

 

Digital Signatures

CP Healthcare has utilized Adobe Sign to safely and securely receive lien and document signatures from both attorneys, clients, and medical professionals. These can be opened and signed on any device with ease. If you would like to use this as your primary way of signing liens and documents, please email us at cph@cypresspartners.com.

 

Digital Reports, Request and Settlements

The desire to create the easiest possible form of communication and negotiations has always been one of CP Healthcare’s biggest advantages. We designed our first portal when we launched our website in 2015. But that wasn’t enough. We wanted to find the best possible way for you to collect all of your lien information in one, single location. To accomplish this, CP has partnered with Mighty. Mighty is an amazing platform that you control. It eases your email and call load by allowing you to update, request records and communicate anything with a case TO ALL LIEN HOLDERS AND PROVIDERS at once with a single click or message. No longer do you have to hop on this portal and ask for this or take 20 calls asking for updates. It’s a system that allows all data to be safely merged together. You as the attorney have complete control, while the providers have only access to their specific patient/case. You don’t have to be tied down to one funding company forcing you to use them for everything. You can control your cost and your time to manage your caseload more efficiently. You can access our link HERE.

 

CP Healthcare can help you in ways the others cannot. Our Small Business gives everyone the attention, service, and innovation needed to do business in our new world. We have been since day one and we will continue to seek out the best ways to provide excellence always.

New MRI Concussion Tests Reveal Impact on Future Settlements

New MRI Concussion Test Reveal Impact on Future Settlements

MedScape and other medical journals report more than 2 million people suffer a concussion each year. The cost of treatments for these concussions total more than $20 million dollars.

Personal Injury Attorneys and Trial Lawyers have always done a tremendous job in helping clients recover their medical costs and suffering in traumatic brain injuries. They have even done well on lesser cases with just mild concussions that were diagnosed and treated.

But, as we have discovered with the many cases of CTE in the NFL and other sports, there is a silent killer that no one has ever been able to diagnose in these patients.

Until now.

For about 15 years there have been specific MRI test that doctors have used to help look at brain waves and moisture in the brain to help them determine the initial severity of injury. That’s 15 years of research to solidify these tests that have been received with mixed reviews. But now, with the advancements in technology, these tests are helping place markers for long term affects of concussions giving doctors ability to predict the future and better treat their patients.

But what about the attorneys?

Do they know these tests are a valid and vital necessity for their concussion cases?

Are they missing out on potential millions in settlements by not looking into the future with their medical providers?

The answer is a resounding yes!

The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida has ruled that diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) satisfies the Daubert standard for admissibility. Marsh v Celebrity Cruises, Inc., Case No. 1(17-CV-21097-UU.

In this case, the plaintiff was injured when she fell on a puddle of water on the Solarium floor of a Celebrity Cruise ship. As a result of the fall, plaintiff sustained a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI).

The plaintiff retained Gerald York, M.D., a board-certified neuro-radiologist and radiologist as an expert witness. Dr. York is the Director of TBI Imaging ARA/IA and a staff neuro-radiologist at the Providence Alaska Medical Center and also works as a consultant to the Defense Veterans Brain Injury Center. Additionally, he participated in the development of approved protocols for neuroimaging of the brain and contributed to the American College of Radiology’s Guidelines for Neuroimaging.

Dr. York reviewed the plaintiff’s DTI, in conjunction with a multitude of other tests and records, and concluded that plaintiff sustained a mild TBI as a result of the fall. The defendant, Celebrity Cruises, moved to bar Dr. York’s testimony, alleging that DTI was nothing more than “junk science” and that Dr. York’s DTI-based opinions that plaintiff sustained a mild TBI amounted to nothing more than an unsubstantiated speculation.

However, the court rejected Celebrity’s argument, finding that DTI findings and testimony has been deemed reliable and admitted by numerous courts across the country for almost a decade. It found that DTI had been subject to peer review and publication and is a generally accepted method for detecting TBI.

Additionally, the court also rejected Celebrity’s assertion that “the DTI’s acquisition of data is…affected by the field’s strength of the magnet and there is a lack of a standardized protocol for the acquisition and interpretation of DTI results.” The Court found that this issue did not make DTI technology “junk science” nor render that Dr. York’s opinions unreliable.

These specific protocols are no longer considered opinion or mythical tests for concussions of any degree.

Some states have already required these test as first line standard of care in youth athletes and anyone who appears to have sustained a concussion.

This is a game changer for the medical professional to give a sound diagnosis of future loss of cognitive function as well and for the attorneys who are fighting for their clients quality of life.

If you have questions about these tests or would like to learn more, you can reach me at ssmallwood@cypresspartners.com or 706.223.5375.
