from standards of care, clearly formulated opinions and summaries of
medical issues

Pharmacy/Physician/Drug Reports
Do you have a case where you need to research the drugs the Plaintiff ingested? Do you have questions about "drug shopping," or "physician hopping?" Do you want to quickly find a comprehensive list of prescribing physicians, including physician name, address and phone numbers? Are you looking for hidden medical providers? We have access to reports from the Pharmacy Benefits Managers Association, which will provide a 5 year history of prescribed drugs for any claimant and includes prescription, dose, days filled, dispensing pharmacy and address, and prescribing physician including address and telephone number. This cost effective report is a great initial screening tool for product liability, personal injury and/or medical malpractice cases. Instead of taking weeks to read medical records and make note of other treating physicians, you can order this report and within 48 hours have pages of drug and prescribing physician information at your fingertips. Call today at 610-696-1763 to see if this tool would benefit your practice.
This report benefits both Plaintiff and Defense firms. Do you need to order medical records? We can run this report and order the records for every physician identified within the report. These reports contain 80% of all prescriptions written in the nation from virtually every payor source. Reports are $150 per claimant, and only a $30 fee if there are no matches found in the database. We have HIPPA compliant authorizations and can accept credit card orders. Call today for more information!
