The claim is built on the living record. Sports concussion and CTE record review services assemble the documented exposure history and the neurological record into one cited timeline: every recorded head injury and return-to-play clearance, every neuropsychological and imaging result, and the symptom course between them. Diagnosis stays with the qualified clinician.

So does the field. 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 concussion and CTE claims the criteria are published by the settlement program and by consensus panels, and the referee is named in the settlement itself. The standard and the referee The rulebook - The NFL Concussion Settlement’s Qualifying Diagnoses and its Baseline Assessment Program protocol, which fix the neuropsychological and neurological findings a claim has to document - The Amsterdam 2023 Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport, the sixth international consensus, which defines how a concussion is recognized, assessed and cleared for return to play - The NINDS consensus diagnostic criteria for traumatic encephalopathy syndrome, which set out what can and cannot be diagnosed in a living patient - Fed. R. Evid. 702 as amended in December 2023, under which an opinion linking a career of exposures to a present diagnosis has to be reliably applied to this record The referee - The settlement Claims Administrator and the Special Master appointed by the district court, who audit the claim against the settlement’s own diagnostic criteria - The qualified BAP provider, a board-certified neuropsychologist or neurologist, whose examination the claim stands or falls on - The trial court at a Rule 702 hearing in any claim litigated outside a settlement program An exposure history assembled from memory rather than from the record From 10¢ to as low as 5¢/page here, duplicates free Exposure and neurology timeline · Case #IME-4812 cited 100% Packet — 342 pp / 2 packets · 11 deduplicated — logged Documented head injuries — Every recorded event, with date and source — cited Return-to-play clearances — Each clearance against the injury it followed — cited Neuropsychological results — Every test, score and administering clinician — cited Timeline delivered · cited 100% · no diagnosis How it works ### 3 steps between the player file and the timeline. 01 #### Send the player file Team and training room records, emergency and hospital records, neurology and neuropsychology reports, imaging, and any Baseline Assessment Program examination, in any format. 02 #### We return the timeline, page-cited Every documented head injury and clearance in sequence, every neuropsychological and imaging result, and the symptom course recorded between them. 03 #### The clinician diagnoses The qualifying diagnosis is made by a board-certified neuropsychologist or neurologist on their own examination. The timeline is the history that examination rests on. The boundary, in writing ### A timeline of the record, not a diagnosis of encephalopathy. We assemble and cite what the training room, hospital and neurology records document. We do not diagnose CTE or traumatic encephalopathy syndrome, score a qualifying diagnosis, or opine that the exposures caused the present condition. Those belong to the qualified clinician and to your experts. In the demo case, page 140 turned out to belong to a different patient. In a career-long player file that error adds an exposure that never happened, so it is quarantined rather than folded quietly into the count.

The exposure and neurology timeline is one deliverable of the same platform that reads, sorts, and cites the whole record.

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.

No, and neither can anyone else from records alone. CTE is confirmed on postmortem neuropathology. What the living record supports is a documented exposure history and a neurological course, which is what a qualifying diagnosis or a traumatic encephalopathy syndrome assessment is built from. Only from documented events, each cited to its page and source. We do not estimate hits, extrapolate from seasons played, or count anything the record does not record. An exposure history built on inference does not survive a claims audit. Yes. The timeline is built the same way for any claim where documented head exposure and a neurological course have to be shown, including collegiate, junior and non-sport cases. The settlement criteria are one referee among several. 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.
