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 - Ohio Civ.R. 10(D)(2)(a), which requires one or more affidavits of merit relative to each defendant for whom expert testimony is necessary to establish liability - Ohio Civ.R. 10(D)(2)(a), under which the affidavit states familiarity with the applicable standard of care, that the affiant has reviewed the applicable medical records, and the opinion that the standard was breached - Ohio Civ.R. 10(D)(2)(b), the motion for an extension of up to ninety days to file the affidavit - Ohio Evid.R. 601(D) and 702, which require an expert giving liability testimony in a medical claim to devote at least half their professional time to active clinical practice The referee - The trial court on a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, the express consequence of an inadequate affidavit - The Ohio appellate courts, which have examined how specifically the affidavit has to identify the breaching defendant - The affiant, who has to attest that they have reviewed the applicable medical records — the rule says so in terms Expert hours multiplied by every defendant for whom testimony is necessary Flat 10¢/page here, duplicates free Record review · Case #IME-4812 cited 100% Packet — 342 pp / 2 packets · 11 deduplicated — logged Chronology by defendant — Encounters mapped to each provider — cited Findings and imaging — Each result at its source page — cited Records referenced, not produced — Named in the chart, absent from the file — flagged Review delivered · cited 100% · no standard-of-care opinion offered 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 and split by defendant The chronology, findings and course of treatment, each line citing the page it came from, organised so each named defendant's involvement reads on its own. 03 #### Your expert signs the affidavits Familiarity with the standard of care and the opinion that it was breached are the affiant's, one affidavit relative to each defendant, and filing is counsel's. 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, opine that it was breached, identify which defendant breached it, or sign an affidavit under Civ.R. 10(D)(2). Those are the affiant's statements, from an expert qualified under Evid.R. 601(D) and 702. The rule requires the affiant to attest that they have reviewed the applicable medical records. That attestation is the whole reason a page-cited review exists: it is the difference between having read the file and having received it.

No. Civ.R. 10(D)(2) requires an affidavit from an expert qualified under Evid.R. 601(D) and 702, attesting to familiarity with the standard of care, review of the applicable medical records, and the opinion that the standard was breached. We prepare the record review behind that attestation. Because the rule requires one or more affidavits relative to each defendant for whom expert testimony is necessary to establish liability, and Ohio courts have looked closely at how specifically the affidavit identifies who breached the standard. Civ.R. 10(D)(2)(b) allows a motion for an extension of up to ninety days to file it. Filing neither the affidavit nor the motion leaves the complaint subject to dismissal for failure to state a claim. 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. Evid.R. 601(D) and 702 govern, and include the requirement that a person giving expert testimony on liability in a medical claim devote at least half of their professional time to active clinical practice. Qualification is a legal question for counsel. ### 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.
