Medical Neutral for Mass Tort (Pharmaceutical) Claim

Pharmaceutical litigation requires a thorough review of multiple levels of information to determine whether a claimant is a member of the class, the legitimacy of the claim, causation and record completeness. MedNeutral would process the medical records and:

  1. Organize, index, process and analyze the voluminous medical records

  2. Reduce medical records to online summaries for prompt search and review, with the underlying source documents available for more detailed search and review

  3. Provide access to documents to authorized users and enable electronic “sticky-notes” on the medical records (which may be shared with others or not)

  4. Highlight key descriptive information based on attorney specified requirements, such as:

    Compliance with criteria for class inclusion and settlement
    • Confirm claimant’s qualification and injury
    • Confirm usage, dosage, quantity and duration within specified periods
    • Check proximity of injury to dates of ingestion

    Confirmation of side-effects and contraindications
    • Confirm side effects (e.g., heart attack, heart disease, stroke, bone fractures, peripheral edema, macular edema, vision impairment, hepatitis, rapid weight gain, jaundice, hypoglycemia or death)

    Review for alternate causation
    • Identify existence of other risk factors which may predispose claimant to injuries, including pre-existing conditions
    • Identify comparative negligence (i.e., ingestion of other medications and prescribing physician errors)
    • Identify contributory negligence (i.e., non-compliance with blood pressure medication)

    Check on record completeness
    • Identify any missing records, gaps in service and missed appointments

  5. Process and resolve Claim
    • Process descriptive information and summary through settlement matrix for expeditious resolutions, combined with certainty and transparency
