MICHIGAN CERTIFICATE OF MERIT RECORD REVIEW

182 days of notice. Then the affidavit files with the complaint.

Michigan certificate of merit record review services prepare the page-cited record a health professional reads before signing the affidavit MCL 600.2912d requires. Every encounter and finding is indexed to its source page, so the standard-of-care and causation statements in the affidavit rest on a file that has actually been read.

The notice period is the reading window. Most of it gets spent elsewhere.

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
  • MCL 600.2912d(1), which requires an affidavit of merit filed with the complaint, signed by a health professional the plaintiff's attorney reasonably believes meets the expert requirements of MCL 600.2169
  • MCL 600.2912d(1), under which the affiant attests that the applicable standard of care was breached and that the breach caused the injury
  • MCL 600.2912d(2), the additional twenty-eight days a court may grant on motion for good cause shown
  • MCL 600.2912b, the notice of intent that has to be served at least 182 days before the action is commenced
The referee
  • The trial court, where a complaint filed without a conforming affidavit fails to toll the period of limitations
  • The Michigan appellate courts, which have treated the tolling consequence as the operative sanction
  • The signing health professional, who has to satisfy the MCL 600.2169 matching requirements for the defendant's specialty

How it works

3 steps between the records and the affidavit.

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 and documented course of treatment, each line citing the page it came from, with referenced-but-absent records flagged.

03

Your health professional signs the affidavit

The applicable standard of care, the breach and the causal link are the affiant's statements under MCL 600.2912d(1), and filing is counsel's decision.

The boundary, in writing

A record review, never an affidavit of merit.

We index and cite what the record documents. We do not state the applicable standard of care, attest that it was breached, address causation, or sign an affidavit under MCL 600.2912d. Those attestations belong to a health professional who meets the MCL 600.2169 requirements.

The 182-day notice period under MCL 600.2912b is the natural reading window, and it is usually consumed by everything except reading. A file read early is a file the affiant can still ask questions about.

FAQ

Michigan affidavits of merit, answered.

No. MCL 600.2912d(1) requires a health professional the plaintiff's attorney reasonably believes meets the MCL 600.2169 expert requirements, attesting to the standard of care, the breach and causation. We prepare the page-cited record review that professional reads first.

MCL 600.2912b requires written notice of intent at least 182 days before the action is commenced. That window is when the record actually gets read, and it is usually the part that gets compressed.

A complaint filed without one does not toll the period of limitations, which is a harsher outcome than a curable filing defect. MCL 600.2912d(2) allows a court to grant an additional twenty-eight days on motion for good cause shown.

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. Causation is one of the attestations MCL 600.2912d(1) assigns to the signing health professional. The review carries the documented sequence and findings, each cited to a page, and stops short of every opinion in the affidavit.
