It doesn't get treated like one. Cover Page & Certification Stripping automatically removes law-firm cover sheets and custodian certification pages from the working record set before review begins, so the chronology and reports reflect the clinical record itself — not the transmittal paperwork wrapped around it. Reviewers open a file and see medicine, not letterhead.

A law-firm cover sheet identifies who sent the file and to whom. A custodian certification attests the production is complete. Neither documents a clinical event, so both are detected and removed from the working set during intake, before the chronology is built — leaving everything that actually happened to the patient. Law-firm cover sheets removed from the working set Custodian certification pages removed the same way Detected on intake — 2 types Law-firm cover sheet → removed from working set Custodian certification → removed from working set Clinical note, note, or imaging → kept, on the chronology Source file — Unmodified Original upload, cover sheets and certifications included, preserved as received The working set feeding the chronology and reports is a view of this file, not a replacement for it. ### The original stays intact. Stripping changes what shows in the working view that feeds the chronology and reports — it doesn't touch the source file. The upload stays exactly as received, cover sheets and certifications included, and any stripped page is available on request. Original file preserved untouched, byte for byte Stripped pages remain available on request Adams, T. · Case #IME-4812 — 2 packets received Packet 1 · Cover sheet · Intake note · Progress notes (12) Packet 2 · Cover sheet · Certification · X-Ray, MRI (right knee) The differentiator ### Two packets. Two cover sheets. One clinical record. A case built from multiple productions carries a cover sheet and certification per packet, not per case. Each one is stripped from the working set independently, so a file assembled from several sources reads as one record instead of several wrapped ones stitched together. [See Medical Record Deduplication ](https://medrecords.ai/product/medical-record-deduplication/) ### From production, to clinical-only working set. 4 steps, no manual page-by-page cleanup. Upload the packet(s) One production or several. Cover sheets and all. Cover sheets & certifications detected Identified during the same pass that segments every page. Removed from the working set Automatically, before the chronology is built. Original preserved, available on request Nothing about the source upload is deleted. ### Who works with a clinical-only working set. Whoever assembled the production, the reviewer gets the record without the transmittal paperwork. [ Law firms Send the production as-is; the cover sheet never reaches the chronology.

Law-firm cover sheets attached to a records request, and custodian certification pages that attest a records production is complete and authentic. Both wrap the clinical record without being part of it. No. Stripped pages are removed from the working view, not deleted from the source file. The original upload is preserved exactly as received, and stripped pages remain available on request. It's important as proof the production is authentic, which is why it's preserved, not discarded. It's stripped from the working set specifically because it documents the records transfer, not a clinical event, so it doesn't belong on a chronology or in a clinical report. Yes. It runs during intake, the same pass that segments and OCR-routes every page, so cover sheets and certifications are identified before the chronology is built rather than removed manually afterward. Yes. A case built from several productions typically carries a cover sheet and certification per packet. Each one is identified and stripped from the working set independently, so the record underneath reads as one file instead of several wrapped ones. They target different content. Cover Page & Certification Stripping removes law-firm cover sheets and custodian certification pages. [Non-Clinical Image Filtering](https://medrecords.ai/product/non-clinical-image-filtering/) removes non-clinical images like logos and blank scans. Both keep the working set focused on the clinical record. Yes. Stripping only changes what shows in the working view used for the chronology and reports. The original file, including every cover sheet and certification page, stays intact and available on request. ### See a production with the cover sheets already gone.
