Medical canvass
Hospital and medical facility canvassing
A structured canvass of 60 medical facilities in the subject's region to surface treatment you do not know about yet.
What a canvass answers
Claim files routinely show one treating provider when the claimant's actual treatment history spans several. A canvass systematically queries medical facilities across the relevant geographic area to identify prior or concurrent treatment that was never disclosed — earlier injuries to the same body part, unrelated conditions affecting recovery, or ongoing care from a second provider.
The standard canvass covers 60 medical facilities in the subject's region. Coverage is defined up front so you know exactly what was checked and what was not.
How it runs
- Confirm subject identifiers and the geographic scope of the canvass
- Process the authorization or records request each facility requires
- Query all 60 facilities and log every response, including negatives
- Report hits with facility, dates of service, and next steps for records
When to order one
Canvassing is most productive early — before an IME is scheduled and before a deposition, so undisclosed treatment is in hand when the questions get asked. It is also a standard step when the claimed injury does not match the reported mechanism or when treatment escalates without an obvious clinical reason.
Frequently asked questions
- How many facilities are canvassed?
- Sixty medical facilities in the subject's region. That is the standard scope of the service, not a maximum.
- How is it priced?
- A flat fee for the full 60-facility canvass, the same anywhere in Florida. Current pricing is on the rates page.
- Do you obtain the records themselves?
- The canvass identifies where treatment occurred and reports the hits. Records retrieval from those facilities can be handled as a follow-on request.
- What do you need from us to start?
- Subject identifiers, the geographic area of interest, and any signed authorization the file already has.
