For licensed attorneys and law firms only
Medical chronologies your case strategy can stand on
A medical chronology is a dated, page-cited timeline of every medically significant event in an injury case: each visit, diagnosis, imaging result, and work restriction in order, with a record citation for every entry, so a demand letter, deposition outline, or mediation statement can be verified line by line against the records.
A demand letter is only as strong as the timeline behind it. We turn record sets of any size into dated, page-cited chronologies, with treatment gaps flagged, billing reconciled, and the facts that hurt you surfaced privately instead of discovered at deposition. Flat per-document pricing quoted from the page count before work starts, no hourly meter.
What a page-cited medical record chronology includes
Dated timeline with record citations
Every entry cites the exact pages in the Bates-stamped or paginated set, so any line can be verified by you, opposing counsel, or a mediator in seconds.
Treatment gaps and causation risks flagged
Gaps in care, pre-existing findings, degenerative language, and inconsistent complaints are marked for you privately. Adjusters hunt for these; you should see them first.
Billing reconciliation
Charges totaled by provider and category, duplicates flagged, so your specials number is defensible to the dollar.
Deadline-aware turnaround
Turnaround stated with the quote; rush handling when mediation or a statute date is bearing down.
Medical chronology example and format
This is the working format, published here instead of behind a download form: date, provider, medically significant event, record citation. The excerpt below is an illustrative composite, not a real patient.
| Date | Provider | Event | Record cite |
|---|---|---|---|
| 03/14/2025 | Mercy General ER | Presented via EMS post rear-end MVC. CC: neck pain, headache. CT cervical spine negative for fracture. Dx: cervical strain. Discharged with NSAIDs. | MG 004-011 |
| 03/18/2025 | Dr. A. Reyes, PCP | Follow-up. Persistent cervicalgia radiating to left shoulder, ROM reduced. Referred to physical therapy 2x/week, 6 weeks. | REY 002-003 |
| 04/02/2025 | Lakeside PT | PT eval. Pain 6/10. Note: patient reports missing work shifts (documented wage-loss anchor). | LPT 001 |
| 05/27/2025 | Radiology Assoc. | MRI C-spine: C5-C6 disc protrusion abutting the thecal sac. First objective finding; gap of 12 days since last PT visit flagged. | RAD 003-004 |
Note the May 27 entry: the objective MRI finding lands twelve days after the last PT visit, so the gap is flagged the moment it becomes material. That is the difference between a chronology and a date list.

How much do medical chronology services cost?
Market rates for outsourced medical chronologies typically run a few hundred dollars per record set: established legal BPOs advertise roughly $245 to $350 for an average 500-page file, with per-page surcharges beyond quoted volumes, and hourly vendors bill $35 to $60 per hour with an open-ended total. We quote a single flat per-document price from your page count before work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay; the current rate card arrives with your quote.
Medical record review for attorneys, priced per document
Not every case needs the full timeline. Record review deliverables answer a narrower question: what do these records actually support? You get a findings memo covering diagnosis history, causation language, prior injuries and claims, medication compliance, and the entries an adjuster or defense IME will lean on. Where most medical record review companies bill hourly against an estimate, every engagement here is a flat quote from the page count, so file review costs are knowable at intake, when you are deciding whether to take the case at all.
Deposition summary services in your preferred format
Page-line, topical, or chronological deposition summaries from the transcript, with a citation for every summarized statement, in the structure your motion practice or trial notebook expects. Summaries pair naturally with the chronology on the same matter: the medical timeline says what the records show, the deposition summary says what the witnesses admitted, and the demand or motion writes itself from the two.
All deliverables are attorney work-product support prepared for licensed counsel: we never contact your client, providers, or opposing parties, and nothing we prepare is filed or served by us. Records are handled through the secure portal, under a Business Associate Agreement where required, and purged on your instruction. Legal Tank is not a law firm.

Medical chronology services FAQ
What is a medical chronology?
A medical chronology is a dated, page-cited timeline of every medically significant event in a case: each visit, diagnosis, imaging result, medication change, and work restriction, in order, with a record citation for every entry. Attorneys use it to see the injury story at a glance, anchor a demand letter or deposition outline, and hand opposing counsel or a mediator a version of events that can be verified line by line against the records.
What do your medical chronology services include?
Every chronology includes the dated event timeline with page citations to the Bates-stamped or paginated record set, provider and facility identification, flagged treatment gaps, pre-existing condition notes, and a billing reconciliation that totals charges by provider. Record review findings that cut against the claim are flagged privately for you rather than papered over; a chronology that hides the bad facts fails at deposition.
How is this different from hiring a medical record review company hourly?
Traditional medical record review companies bill hourly or per page with an open-ended total. We quote a flat per-document price from the page count before work starts, so a 500-page record set costs what we said it would. There is no subscription, no minimum volume, and no platform fee: solo and small firms send one case or twenty.
Do you also prepare deposition summaries?
Yes. Page-line deposition summaries in the format your practice uses (topical, chronological, or page-line), from the transcript, with citations for every summarized statement. Deposition summaries and medical chronologies are quoted the same way: flat, per document, from the transcript or record volume.
How do you handle HIPAA and record confidentiality?
Records move through the secure portal rather than email, access is limited to the team working the matter, and we execute a Business Associate Agreement where your workflow requires one. Source records are purged on your instruction after delivery. All work is performed for you, the attorney; we never contact your client, a provider, or opposing counsel.
Who actually builds the chronology?
Experienced legal writers working with AI-assisted record extraction, with human review before delivery. The extraction pass catches every date and charge; the human pass catches what matters legally: the gap in treatment, the pre-existing degenerative finding, the inconsistent pain score. Every deliverable arrives editable, formatted to drop into your demand package or trial notebook.
