Case Strategy
If the entire team isn’t aligned on case objectives and target critical facts, there are significant risks for delays and costly do-overs. It can take three to six months to identify misalignment between your expectations and the resulting work.
WiseStart ensures alignment from your record retrieval and nursing analysis partner from the beginning.

Opposing Counsel Strategy
There’s always a risk around opposing counsel, especially when it comes to your deadlines. Without a firm process for dealing with opposing counsel, you’re exposed to the entire playbook of delay tactics.
For example, our research found that 40% of record order delays are because opposing counsel neglects to provide signed, HIPAA-compliant authorization forms—either intentionally or unintentionally. This can cause a delay of up to 60 days.
WiseStart keeps your team in charge by:
Establishing opposing counsel protocol and defining requirements prior to discovery phase
Coordinating with opposing counsel for timely acquisition of all required documents and authorizations

Medical Record Provider Strategy
No two medical providers are alike. In fact, some may be the same provider, but the records are in different states. This creates the potential for projects to get sidetracked, records to be overcharged, and facts to be missed. Simply submitting a request without signed certification documents can delay a case by an average of 10-15 days.
We reduce delays and unforeseen costs by:
Completing Pilot Cases prior to main discover phase
Identifying alternative causation early
Achieving early approval of “Custodian Fee" limit
Refining NWP to meet case objective prior to discovery
