Questions ### Amputation injury record review, answered. **Do you say whether the limb could have been saved?** No. We lay out every score, consult and note on the salvage decision in order, with pages. Whether another decision was possible is an opinion for your surgical expert. **Can you help the life care planner?** Yes. Every note that predicts future care, from prostheses and sockets to pain care and therapy, is collected with its page and date. The plan and its costs stay with the planner. **What is a K-level and why do you track it?** It is the functional level Medicare uses to decide which prosthesis is covered, from K0 to K4. We list every K-level the record documents, dated, so the progression is easy to see. **Do you retrieve records from providers?** No. Medrecords AI does not retrieve records from providers or facilities.
