SiftMed is a medical claims review product for insurers and claims teams (canada), with a scope that covers medical claims review and summaries. Tavrn is a medical chronology product for attorneys, litigation support and insurers, with a scope that covers medical chronologies and summaries. If those 2 descriptions point at different teams, the decision is mostly about which team owns the file, not which feature list is longer.

On pricing, SiftMed is not published, while Tavrn is not published. On citations, SiftMed: source-linked per its site. Tavrn: not stated for every entry. Ask both for a sample where a finding opens the underlying record page, then price the same file.

Demand and drafting

SiftMed covers medical claims review and summaries. Tavrn covers medical chronologies and summaries. If one of those scopes is the exact output your team hands to counsel, that is the faster starting point. If both can produce it, compare the draft, the template flexibility and how many edits the attorney still has to make.

Medical records and chronologies

Ask both to process the same messy record set, including scans, duplicates, handwritten notes and missing pages. SiftMed works with medical records and says source-linked per its site. Tavrn works with medical records and says not stated for every entry. The output that survives the source-link check is the one worth a contract.

Pricing and contract

SiftMed is not published. Tavrn is not published. Neither comparison should stop at the monthly figure. Ask whether pricing is per user, case, demand, page or custom; whether revisions and human review are included; whether there are page limits or overages; and what onboarding costs in staff time.

Security and data handling

SiftMed lists soc 2 and hipaa noted on its site.. Tavrn lists soc 2 and hipaa noted on its site.. Ask for the BAA, the DPA, where data is stored, how long it is retained, and whether client data is used for model training. A security page is a starting point, not the contract.

Workflow fit

SiftMed is the better fit when canadian claims teams. Tavrn is the better fit when chronology-first teams. Medrecords AI is the better fit when the job is a cited chronology plus a drafted demand, IME report or deposition summary, without a platform migration.

How to test both on one file

1. Upload the same record set to SiftMed, Tavrn and Medrecords AI.
2. Open the source link behind one chronology entry or summary line in each output.
3. Compare the draft you would send to counsel, then compare the bill for the same page count.

This is the fastest way to tell a records service from a software platform. The output that survives the citation check is the one worth a contract.

Migration and switching

Switching between SiftMed, Tavrn and Medrecords AI is less about data export than about trust. Ask each vendor for a named onboarding contact, a sample migration plan, the export formats and a go-live date. Then re-run 3 representative files, including one messy record set, and compare the chronology, the citations and the bill before you cancel anything. A migration that saves a subscription but loses the source trail is not a saving.

Keep the old tool live until one real file has passed the citation check. That single test tells you more than a migration deck, because it shows how the new vendor handles the records your team actually receives.

Where Medrecords AI fits

Medrecords AI is not a replacement for SiftMed when you need a medical claims review platform, or for Tavrn when you need a medical chronology platform. It is the third option for the record-review step: upload a record set, get a source-linked chronology and a drafted demand package, IME report or deposition summary, then review, revise and sign it.

That matters when the bottleneck is the file rather than the firm. Medrecords AI publishes its price at 10 cents per deduplicated page, falling to 5 cents at volume, with duplicates free. It reads PDFs, scans, handwriting and DICOM imaging. First case is free on us, with no page cap and no card.

Bottom line

Choose SiftMed when canadian claims teams. Choose Tavrn when chronology-first teams. Choose Medrecords AI when the job is a cited chronology plus a drafted demand, IME report or deposition summary, with published per-page pricing and a free first case.

The worst outcome is buying a platform for a problem your team does not have. Run one real file through each option, open the source behind one finding, and compare the draft you would send to counsel. Decide on the output, the citations and the bill, not the demo.
