WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY MEDICO LEGAL AGENCY?

The Medico Legal Agency (MLA) is one of the largest labor organizations representing employers and employee representatives. The primary function of this industry organization is to represent the interests of employers in employment-related matters, including employee benefits, worker compensation, collective bargaining, and medical and health insurance. They maintain relationships with physicians, nurses, physicians assistants, legal professionals, investigators, disability advocates, accountants, lawyers, pharmacists, and other key players in the healthcare industry.

Healthcare Providers have a significant role in providing

the necessary care to their injured or sick associates.

The physicians and other staff members at the medicolegal agency are certified by the American Medical Association (AMA) and other nationally recognized boards.

The Association of Examining Physician Assistants (AAPE) and the American Association of Clinical Pathologists and Adigators (AAPS) provide additional credentials to help practitioners become board certified.

In addition to serving as workers' compensation attorneys, they also work as Medical Expert witnesses and Medical Examiner (MEEP). These credentialing boards are the third party that verifies the expertise and knowledge of a medico-legal specialist. The following are a few of the services provided by a medico-legal services company.

There are two main reasons to have a CPT scan done.

First, it will aid the doctor in diagnosing and treating the patient. Second, a CPT scan can determine if any preexisting conditions should be detected at the time of injury and not allow the person to develop complications later. The two tests consist of the patient's blood work, urine testing, X-rays, CT scan, or any other relevant medically relevant imaging. MedicoLegal companies have a special team of experts who

gather the relevant information from these tests to present them in front of employers or a judge.

WHAT SERVICES PROVIDE BY THE MEDICAL LEGAL AGENCY?

Employers and workers' compensation lawyers can benefit from Medico-Legal Agency services. A CPT scan can tell if the worker has been injured due to negligence on the employer's part. This can be a difficult task, as employers are very clever at concealing worker injury and illness. A Medico-Legal services company has doctors who can do a CPT exam with or without medical supervision to reveal any potential negligence. Some employers may even go as far as hiring a Medico to "hide" other tests from the worker's

compensation agency so the lawyer can win the case based on pure accident occurrence without malpractice.

Medico-Legal Agencies also provide a consultation service to injured parties. If you have suffered an injury and are pursuing a claim, a legal representative can help you with the initial proceedings, help you file the appropriate paperwork, and advise you on your path to getting your desired outcome. Medico-Legal Agencies usually charge a fee for this service. However, if the company is confident of the outcome of your case, the cost can be kept minimal. If the case goes to court, the company is still responsible for attorney fees.

CONCLUSION Before engaging the services of a Medico-Legal agency, it is wise to conduct some research to make sure you are getting a good company. Many Medico-Legal Service companies have a long list of attorneys they recommend to their clients. You should choose an attorney that: has experience dealing with the type of injury you have suffered from, has competent witnesses or medical records available for your review, has an established and strong track record of winning workers' compensation cases, and has handled cases in your state.
