Three copies of the same visit. One canonical record.
Medical record deduplication collapses three copies of the same visit into one canonical record. Merged provider files carry duplicate entries by default — duplicates are found, confidence-scored, and collapsed by you, without losing a single citation. Collapsed is not destroyed: the duplicates remain reviewable, and every citation survives the collapse back to its source page.
Merged files duplicate by default.
A production assembled from the provider, the payer, and prior counsel carries the same visit several times over. Reviewers pay for those pages twice: once in cost, once in attention. Deduplication finds the repeats before anyone reads them.
Confidence-scored, then collapsed — by you.
Exact matches collapse in one click. Near-duplicates — a re-fax, an amended note, a different scan of the same page — are flagged with a score and held for a human decision. A changed word between two “copies” is exactly what should never disappear silently.
Citations survive the collapse.
The canonical page inherits the provenance of every copy: which packet it arrived in, where it sat, and its Bates range. Any citation that pointed at a duplicate resolves to the canonical page, so nothing in a chronology or report breaks.
Collapsed is not destroyed.
Every collapse is a logged event: who confirmed it, when, and exactly what was hidden. The duplicate pages stay in the file, recoverable, with the audit trail to prove the record wasn’t altered. Source-linked and legally defensible, even after cleanup.

Deduplication runs at intake, so everything downstream reads the clean record.
Provider files, payer files, and prior productions go in together — duplication expected.
Exact copies are grouped automatically; near-duplicates get a confidence score and wait for a human.
One click per set. The canonical page keeps every copy’s provenance, and the collapse is logged.
Who dedupes with it.
Anyone who pays for pages twice — in review cost or reviewer attention.
Productions shrink to the pages that matter, with Bates citations intact.
For law firmsEvaluators read each visit once, not three times across three packets.
For medical evaluatorsPer-page review costs stop paying for the same page twice.
For TPAsDeduplication, answered.
Pages are compared across the whole production, not just within one packet. Exact copies match even when scan quality differs; near-matches get a confidence score that reflects how much of the page is identical. High-confidence sets collapse in one click, and anything ambiguous is held for review.
Yes — that is the core case. A file merged from the provider, the payer, and prior counsel typically repeats the same visits; in a representative 342-page, two-packet production, 11 duplicate pages were found and collapsed to one canonical record.
Yes. The canonical page inherits every copy's provenance: source packet, position, and Bates range. Citations that pointed to a collapsed copy resolve to the canonical page, so chronologies, reports, and exports keep working.
They are never auto-merged. A near-duplicate gets flagged with the differing content shown side by side, because a changed word between two copies can be an amended record. Suspected alterations route to Record Version & Alteration Detection for a closer look.
Both. Confirmed exact sets can be collapsed one at a time or all at once, and every collapse — single or bulk — is logged with the reviewer, timestamp, and affected pages, and can be reversed.
