Second Injury Fund Review   What is a Second Injury Fund Review?     A Second Injury Fund Review is a specialized review specifically to analyze the case and determine if there is sufficient medical evidence to support the requirements of the State managing the fund overseeing the claim. As each State Fund has its own nuances, each case must be reviewed with those nuances in mind.   Why can’t I just use the treating doctor to answer the question about Second Injury Fund potential?     Most treating physicians do not understand the Second Injury Fund, typically because it has never been explained. Many treating physicians are just too busy to take the time to learn this, as it applies to such a small percentage of their patients.   What if the State I am handling a claim in requires that I try to get the treating doctor to agree before I seek an independent medical opinion?     Our experience has taught us that, given the right circumstances, if the case warrants it, a treating physician will agree. However, it usually takes another physician to accomplish this. As a result, we offer Second Injury Fund Review services in which our reviewing medical expert will contact the treating physician by telephone to discuss the case and why it has merit under the Second Injury Fund guidelines. We have had great success with this approach. If, for some reason, the treating doctor will not agree, in spite of the evidence as presented by our medical expert, our medical expert has already reviewed the case, you have fulfilled your responsibility to attempt to work with the treating physician and our medical expert will complete a medical report and/or form depending upon the State requirements.   How much does a Second Injury Fund Review cost?   Since there are many factors involved, we price our services based upon the program that we set up for our clients. Most clients end up with a flat fee program, which benefits all parties.   MD Case Strategy, Second Injury Fund, Medical Record Review, Additional Review, Pattern & Practice, and Rebuttal Response.
