Services in Brewer
Life Care Planning - Individualized, evidence-based life care plans projecting the future medical, rehabilitation, and non-medical needs of individuals living with catastrophic injuries or chronic conditions. Each plan documents the items of care recommended across the patient's remaining life expectancy, with cost research grounded in geographic-specific provider data.
Pediatric Life Care Planning - Life care plans for minors with birth-related injuries, congenital conditions, or pediatric trauma. Plans address developmental considerations, transitions to adulthood, and lifetime care needs from current age through projected life expectancy.
Catastrophic Injury Life Care Plans - Life care plans for adults with traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, severe burns, amputations, and other catastrophic injuries. Plans coordinate medical, attendant care, equipment, home modification, and transportation needs over the life span.
Medical Cost Projections - Future medical care cost projections for cases that do not require a full life care plan. Useful for settlement valuation, mediation, and matters where a focused future-medical analysis is appropriate.
Workers' Compensation Life Care Plans - Life care plans built for workers' compensation matters, covering future medical care, attendant care, and rehabilitation needs, coordinated with the vocational specialist where return-to-work is contested.
Life Care Plan Updates - Updates of prior life care plans to reflect current medical condition, costs, and life expectancy data. Includes re-pricing of existing plans, incorporation of new treatment recommendations, and refresh of a plan prepared for an earlier stage of the case.
Life Care Plan Rebuttal and Critique - Independent review of an opposing party's life care plan for plaintiff or defense counsel. We examine each recommendation for foundation in the medical record, duplication, support for frequency and duration, pricing methodology, and life expectancy basis, and deliver a written critique with an optional alternative plan.
Medicare Set-Aside Allocations - Workers' compensation and liability Medicare set-aside allocation reports prepared by a certified Medicare set-aside consultant. Each allocation projects the future injury-related care that Medicare would otherwise cover and prices it using the accepted allocation methodology, in coordination with counsel regarding CMS review thresholds and submission strategy.
Elder and Long-Term Care Planning - Care needs assessment and long-term care cost planning for families, guardians, trustees, and special-needs trusts, outside litigation. A certified life care planner documents the person's current care needs, projects how the level of care and its cost are likely to change, and gives the family or fiduciary a documented basis for budgeting, placement, guardianship, and trust administration decisions. When the plan must also support a claim or a court proceeding, it is prepared to the same documented standard the practice applies in its litigation work.
