MEDICAL COST PROJECTIONS

MEDICAL COST PROJECTIONS

Medical Cost Projections are often referred to as an abbreviated Life Care Plan. This can be deceiving as the goals are the same – project care with costs. BUT, why and how the goal is attained is the difference between a Medical Cost Projection and Life Care Plan.

Medical Cost Projections can be referred at any point in a case – before, during, or nearing the settlement. Projecting care with costs can be for a specific recommendation (such as surgery), a specific timeframe (10 years versus life expectancy), or a specific cost resource (workers’ compensation fee schedule, collateral resource, etc.). The methodology of a Medical Cost Projection will depend upon the author’s skills, training, and experience.
