FLORIDA CERTIFICATE OF MERIT RECORD REVIEW

## The corroborating opinion is verified. So the file behind it should be too.

Florida certificate of merit record review services prepare the page-cited record a medical expert reads before giving the verified written opinion §766.203 requires. Every encounter, finding and imaging result is indexed to its source page, so the corroborating opinion served with the notice of intent rests on a file that has actually been read.

### Presuit is an investigation. The statute says so in the section heading.

We do not build for a case type until we can name the standard that defines a correct output and the person who grades the file against it. In merit screening, both are written into the rule itself.

The standard and the referee
The rulebook
- Fla. Stat. §766.203(2), which requires the claimant to investigate for reasonable grounds before issuing a notice of intent, and to corroborate them with a verified written medical expert opinion
- Fla. Stat. §766.202(6), which defines who qualifies as a medical expert for that opinion
- Fla. Stat. §766.106, the notice of intent to initiate litigation the corroborating opinion is served with
- Fla. Stat. §766.203(3), which puts the same investigation duty on the prospective defendant before it responds

The referee
- The trial court, which may hold a hearing on whether the presuit investigation and corroborating opinion satisfy the statute
- The prospective defendant and its insurer, which conduct their own §766.203(3) investigation on the same records
- The medical expert whose verified written opinion has to corroborate reasonable grounds under §766.202(6)

How it works

### 3 steps between the records and the notice.

01

#### Send the record set

Hospital charts, office notes, imaging and operative reports, nursing records and billing, in any format.

02

#### We return the review, page-cited

The encounter chronology, findings, imaging and medication history, each line citing the page it came from, with referenced-but-absent records flagged.

03

#### Your medical expert gives the opinion

The verified written medical expert opinion corroborating reasonable grounds is the §766.202(6) expert's document, and serving the §766.106 notice is counsel's decision.

The boundary, in writing

### A record review, never a corroborating opinion.

We index and cite what the record documents. We do not assess the standard of care, decide whether reasonable grounds exist, or produce the verified written medical expert opinion §766.203(2) calls for. That opinion belongs to a medical expert as §766.202(6) defines one.

Both sides investigate the same records. Section 766.203(3) puts the same duty on the prospective defendant before it responds, so a gap or an inconsistency the claimant's review misses is one the carrier's reviewer finds anyway.

FAQ

### Florida presuit investigations, answered.

No. Section 766.203(2) requires that opinion from a medical expert as defined in §766.202(6), and it is theirs to verify and sign. We prepare the page-cited record review the expert reads before forming it.

Section 766.203(2) requires it at the time the §766.106 notice of intent to initiate litigation is mailed. That timing is what makes the read a presuit bottleneck rather than a discovery-stage one.

The same file, read the same way. Section 766.203(3) requires the prospective defendant or its insurer to conduct its own investigation before responding to the notice, on the same records and inside the same response window.

No. Medrecords AI does not retrieve records from providers or facilities. You bring the records you already have — review starts in minutes from upload. Retrieval vendors take days; you can keep yours and still cut the review to minutes.

No. Reasonable grounds is the conclusion the statute assigns to the expert and to counsel. The review carries the documented encounters, findings and sequence, each cited to a page, and stops there.

### 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.
