ASBESTOS TRUST CLAIM REVIEW

One file, twenty trusts, twenty different disease-level criteria.

Asbestos trust claim review reads one lifetime file once and maps it to every trust you file with. B-read ILO profusion scores, pathology, PFT and ABG thresholds, latency dates, and the employer-to-site-to-product exposure matrix, extracted from the record and lined up against each trust's own Trust Distribution Procedures.

The rulebook and the referee.

We do not build for a case type until we can name the standard that defines a correct output and the party who grades the file against it. Asbestos bankruptcy trusts publish both.

Each trust writes its own Trust Distribution Procedures, and the grading is formulaic enough that consistency across filings is itself audited.

The rulebook and the referee
The rulebook
  • Each trust's own Trust Distribution Procedures — a literal disease-level table, and no two tables are the same
  • Rapid-American, for example: Level IV mesothelioma scheduled at $3,000; Level III lung cancer at $1,500
  • That Level III entry requires a "B reader 1/0 or higher on the ILO scale", plus 5 years of significant occupational exposure and a 10-year latency
  • Ten to twenty-five filings per claimant means ten to twenty-five grids, each reading the same file for a different subset of proof
The referee
  • The trust's claims-processing facility, which grades the submission against the TDP grid — roughly 98% of claims move through expedited formula review
  • The trusts themselves, which run statistical audits and can suspend a firm's filing privileges
  • Defendants in the tort case, who since Garlock subpoena trust submissions to test them for consistency
Trust-claim consultancies charge $150–600 per trust filing, across 10–25 filings per claimant Flat 10¢/page here, duplicates free
What the file actually looks like

A working lifetime of paper, then twenty graders.

An asbestos trust file is not one production. It arrives as several: decades of treating-physician and pulmonary records, the pathology report, the B-reader form, Social Security earnings records, union and local records, work-history affidavits, and deposition transcripts, usually delivered across separate packets by separate custodians on separate dates.

What makes it hard is not length alone. The oldest exposure evidence is faxed, photocopied and re-scanned until the type is grey; work histories and union cards are handwritten; PFT and ABG results arrive as printed tables that flatten into unusable prose when read carelessly; and the same discharge summary reappears in four packets. A missing-records pass names what a given TDP will ask for and the file does not contain.

What we'd build with you

Four steps, and one of them is yours to refuse.

Asbestos trust work is a build, not a download. We start from one of your real files, show you the read it produces, and only then talk about what a repeatable pipeline for your trust list would look like.

Every step keeps the same boundary: the platform organizes, extracts and cites; your firm decides what the facts mean and what gets filed.

01

Send one real file

A live lifetime production, in whatever shape it reached you: several packets, mixed custodians, degraded scans, handwriting. In the demo case, 342 pages across 2 packets, with 11 duplicates removed and a wrong-patient page quarantined before the read starts.

02

We return the read

The medical chronology, the extracted B-read and ILO profusion score, the PFT and ABG tables, the diagnosis and first-exposure dates, and the employer-to-site-to-product exposure matrix. Every line carries the page it came from, and anything absent is listed as absent.

03

We scope the build

You tell us which trusts you file with and which TDP fields their forms want. We scope the output format, the review workflow and the audit trail around your existing filing process. If we cannot build it to that standard, we say so at this step.

04

You run it

Your team works the queue, checks the citations and files with the trusts. We never grade a disease level, assemble a submission for a trust, or send anything to a claims-processing facility on your behalf.

Powered by the platform

Four capabilities behind every trust-claim read.

The asbestos trust read is one deliverable of the same platform that reads, sorts, and cites the whole record.

Medical Chronology

The exposure-to-diagnosis timeline builds itself from decades of treating and pulmonary records, synced to every source page.

IN ACTION · first exposure → diagnosis, one continuous latency line

Handwritten Record Extraction

Handwritten union cards, work-history affidavits and decades-old clinic notes read as text, not skipped as images.

IN ACTION · handwritten job sites → matrix rows, each page-cited

Medical Table Extraction

PFT and ABG results come out as tables with their columns intact, so each value stays attached to its test date.

IN ACTION · FVC, FEV1, DLCO and blood gas values, dated and cited

Verifiable AI Citations

If we can't cite it, we don't say it. Every extracted value and matrix cell links to the page it was pulled from.

FAQ

Asbestos trust claim review, answered.

No. A TDP disease level is a criteria call the filing firm makes. We extract and cite the underlying facts the level turns on: the pathology, the B-read and its ILO profusion score, the PFT and ABG values, the diagnosis and first-exposure dates behind the latency interval, and the employment history behind the exposure requirement. Whether those documented facts meet a given trust's Level II, III or IV definition is the firm's determination, not ours.

Yes, where the record contains them. B-read ILO score extraction pulls the profusion grade, the reader's certification line and the film date off the B-reader form, and the pulmonary function and ABG tables are read as tables rather than flattened into prose, so FVC, FEV1, DLCO and blood gas values stay attached to their test dates. Every value links back to the page it came from. If a value is not in the file, we report it as missing rather than estimating it.

From what the file already contains: Social Security earnings records, union and local records, employment histories, work-history affidavits, deposition testimony and the claimant's own interrogatory answers. The matrix lines up employer, job site, dates worked and the products named against each other, with a page cite on every cell. We do not add employers, sites or products that the record does not name.

That is the point of reading the file once. The asbestos medical chronology, the exposure matrix and the extracted test values are trust-neutral evidence; each trust's Trust Distribution Procedures then asks for its own subset on its own thresholds. One structured, cited read is reused across the 10 to 25 filings a claimant typically makes, instead of the file being re-read for each one.

No to both. Medrecords AI does not retrieve records from providers or facilities, and it does not submit anything to a trust or a claims-processing facility. You bring the file you already have and the review starts in minutes from upload; the filing, and every judgment call inside it, stays with your firm.

Send one file. We'll tell you what we can read.

No obligation. If the case type is buildable we'll scope it; if it isn't, we'll say so.
