# Occupational Disease Record Review > Occupational disease and repetitive stress record review: job duties and exposures, the first complaint, and every treating contact in one cited timeline. Canonical page: https://medrecords.ai/solutions/occupational-disease-record-review/ --- New — **Missing Records Detection:** flags every visit, provider, and date missing from the file.

The onset date has to be built from the record. Occupational disease record review services build the exposure and onset timeline a repetitive stress or occupational disease claim turns on: the job duties and exposures the record documents, the first complaint on that body part, and every treating contact since, each cited to its page. Causation stays with your experts.

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 occupational disease claims the standard is the state’s own definition of a compensable disease, and the referee is the judge who applies it to a date you have to prove. The standard and the referee The rulebook - The forum state’s occupational disease statute, which defines a compensable disease as one arising out of and peculiar to the employment, and which sets the notice and limitations clock running from onset or from discovery rather than from an accident - The AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, in the edition the state has adopted, which fixes how the resulting impairment is rated - 29 CFR §1904.5, the OSHA determination of work-relatedness, and the employer’s OSHA 300 log entries made under it - NIOSH criteria documents and the published exposure limits for the agent at issue, which are what an industrial hygiene or causation expert works from The referee - The workers’ compensation administrative law judge, who decides work-relatedness and the date of onset on the medical record in front of them - The treating physician and the state-appointed or party-retained evaluator, whose impairment ratings under the adopted Guides edition are compared against each other - The carrier’s claims examiner, who denies on a late notice or a pre-existing degenerative finding before the case reaches a judge A limitations defense won on an onset date nobody had pinned down From 10¢ to as low as 5¢/page here, duplicates free Exposure and onset timeline · Case #IME-4812 cited 100% Packet — 342 pp / 2 packets · 11 deduplicated — logged First documented complaint — Earliest mention of the body part or symptom — cited Documented exposures and duties — Every description in the medical record — cited Degenerative findings — Prior imaging and age-related findings — flagged Timeline delivered · cited 100% · no causation opinion How it works ### 3 steps between the claim file and the timeline. 01 #### Send the claim file Treating records, occupational health and employer clinic notes, imaging, prior records, any industrial hygiene reports, and the OSHA log entries if you have them, in any format. 02 #### We return the timeline, page-cited The first documented complaint with its date, every job duty and exposure the medical record describes, the treatment course since, and every degenerative or pre-existing finding. 03 #### Your expert opines Whether the disease arose out of the employment, and what the onset date is, are expert and judicial questions. The timeline is what both are argued on. The boundary, in writing ### A timeline of the record, not an opinion on work-relatedness. We assemble and cite what the providers and the occupational health record document. We do not opine that a condition is work-related, fix the legal date of onset, rate impairment, or apportion between work and degeneration. Those belong to your physicians and evaluators. In the demo case, page 140 turned out to belong to a different patient. In an occupational disease file that error moves a prior degenerative finding onto the wrong claimant, so it is quarantined rather than folded quietly into the history.

Each is matched and collapsed to one canonical record, so the prescribing pattern is read once per real encounter.

When a chart references a visit, refill, or referral that never made it into the production, the gap is flagged before the pattern goes to the board. IN ACTION · prescribing pattern cross-checked → gaps flagged before submission ](https://medrecords.ai/product/missing-records-identification/) [ #### Cross-Exam Simulator (beta) A board investigator or defense counsel builds a case from the chart abstraction. This beta tool maps the questioning a physician facing that hearing is likely to face on the gaps and pattern in their own record. A rehearsal tool, not legal advice. IN ACTION · prescribing pattern → likely hearing questions mapped (beta) ](https://medrecords.ai/product/cross-exam-simulator/) FAQ ### Occupational disease record review, answered. We report the earliest documented complaint on that body part, with its date and page, and every later contact. We do not declare the legal date of onset. That is decided by the judge under the state statute, and it is usually the whole fight. We place both in front of you: the exposures and duties the record describes, and every degenerative or age-related finding, each cited. Apportionment between them is a medical opinion for your treating physician or evaluator. Those run on their own rulebooks and have their own pages. This one is for state occupational disease and repetitive stress claims, where the statute rather than a federal schedule defines what is compensable. 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. ### 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.
