Medical Records Paralegal (WFH)

Medical Chronologies:

• Review and analyze extensive medical records and bills.
• Create detailed medical chronologies (“MedChrons”) that consolidate key medical events into a concise document.

For instance, when a case note states, “Their elbow hurts. We’re gonna MRI. Here’s what the MRI says,” the paralegal must transform this narrative into a clear, organized chronology—reducing hundreds of pages of documentation to a manageable report (around 20 pages).

Billing Summaries:

• Prepare accurate billing summaries that align with the medical chronology, ensuring that all financial details are clearly documented and separated from the clinical history.

Documentation & Organization:

• Ensure all documentation is well-organized and complies with HIPAA and data security standards.
• Adapt presentation formats as needed (e.g., separating billing information from medical history) to meet the firm’s requirements.

High-Volume Efficiency:

• Manage a high volume of work with precision and speed, without the need for extensive training—candidates must already possess proven expertise.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience in analyzing and summarizing medical records and bills.
• Proven track record in creating medical chronologies and billing summaries.
• Candidates must provide samples of previous work (medical chronologies and billing summaries) during the interview process to verify their proficiency and methodology.

Technical and Organizational Skills:

• Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to handle multiple cases simultaneously.
• Experience with billing for services rendered is required.

Communication Skills:

• Excellent written and oral communication skills.

Self-Sufficiency:

• The ideal candidate will already know how to execute these tasks.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment, ensuring that the documentation provided is both accurate and immediately useful to the legal team.
