Choosing the Best Clinic: The Key to Easier Case Management and Stronger Settlements

Guest Blog Post by Dr. Suzanne Frye, Frye Chiropractic, Lancaster, CA.  

Choosing the right clinic is crucial for your clients’ success. The wrong clinic can delay treatment, provide poor documentation, and miscommunicate key details. This leads to wasted time, lower settlements, and frustration. Each case is different, so it’s important to select a clinic that offers the right care and thorough documentation. This guide will help you make the best choice.  

Key Considerations for All Personal Injury Cases

For minor injury cases with minimal damage or policy limits, most clinics may suffice. However, selecting the right clinic can enhance client experience and streamline case management. Here’s what to look for:

• Facility Quality Matters: Check the clinic’s online presence, including Google Maps and reviews. A clean, modern facility with positive feedback and an attentive staff contributes to a positive client experience and increases referral potential.
• Office Communication: Call the clinic and speak with the office manager to ensure they have experience handling personal injury cases. Their understanding of case limits, clear communication, and willingness to collaborate with your firm can prevent potential administrative headaches.
• Client Experience: Sending clients to a clinic where they feel heard and understood improves case outcomes and reduces issues such as non-compliance or subpar documentation.

What to Look for in High-Value or Complex Cases

When dealing with more significant injuries—such as spinal disc damage, traumatic brain injuries, or cases requiring interventional care—choosing the right clinic becomes even more critical. Consider the following factors:

• Comprehensive Evaluation: Select a clinic with a strong understanding of personal injury cases and the ability to conduct thorough exams that uncover hidden injuries. Detailed documentation of how the injury impacts daily life is crucial for building a solid case.
• Dedicated Case Management: A clinic with an experienced case manager can coordinate multidisciplinary care and ensure a seamless experience for complex cases involving surgical interventions or long-term treatment plans.
• Trial and Deposition Experience: If litigation is a possibility, it’s essential to work with a doctor who is comfortable and experienced in providing testimony in depositions and court proceedings.
• MRI Review Practices: High-quality clinics don’t rely solely on radiology reports; instead, they insist on reviewing the actual MRI images to confirm findings and provide the most accurate diagnosis. This attention to detail can be pivotal in achieving favorable case outcomes.

The Importance of Ongoing Communication

A reliable clinic should prioritize ongoing communication with your firm after the initial evaluation. This allows for:

• Case Updates: The clinic should provide a comprehensive update on their findings to ensure you have a full understanding of the patient’s condition.
• Collaboration: The opportunity for you to provide input and address any discrepancies between their findings and your initial intake assessment.
• Strategic Planning: Ensuring that both medical and legal teams are aligned in their approach, which can strengthen case outcomes and improve client care.

Evaluating a Clinic’s Expertise in Personal Injury Cases

It’s always a good idea to talk with your liaison at PowerLiens.com, because it is in their best interest to provide you with the best possible referral. They have extensive knowledge of the clinics, including insights from other attorneys about their experiences.

A clinic’s experience and track record in handling personal injury cases are key indicators of their reliability. Before making a decision, consider:

• Years of Experience: Longstanding clinics with a history of working with personal injury clients are more likely to understand the intricacies of documentation and communication with legal teams.
• Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Clinics that can facilitate referrals to specialists, such as orthopedic surgeons or pain management doctors, offer a comprehensive approach that benefits complex cases.
• Billing and Case Management Compliance: Ensure the clinic understands lien-based billing structures and can work within case limits without unnecessary delays or unexpected costs.
