SSA consultative exam record digest services condense a claimant's prior treatment history into a short, page-cited brief the examining physician can read before a consultative examination. Every finding, medication, and imaging result links to the page it came from, so the examiner walks in knowing what the file already documents.

So is the time the examiner gets. 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. For SSA consultative examinations, both are already published. The standard and the referee The rulebook - 20 CFR §404.1519 through §404.1519t and §416.919 — the rules governing when a consultative examination is purchased, who may perform it, and what the report must contain - 20 CFR §404.1519n(c) — the CE report's required elements: the claimant's major complaints, detailed history, findings on examination, laboratory results, diagnosis and prognosis - The state DDS's own CE provider agreement, which sets report turnaround and content sufficiency terms - 20 CFR Pt 404 Subpt P App 1 — the Listings the examination findings are ultimately measured against The referee - The state Disability Determination Services examiner, who returns reports that fail the §404.1519n content requirements - The SSA regional office, which audits CE provider quality and can end a provider agreement - The ALJ on appeal, who weighs the CE report against the treating record and discounts an examination made without the history A CE report rejected for insufficiency costs the full re-examination, and the claimant another wait cycle Flat 10¢/page here, duplicates free Record digest · Case #IME-4812 cited 100% Packet342 pp / 2 packets · 11 deduplicatedlogged Treatment historyCondensed to a 2-page briefcited Prior imagingReport text carried with its datecited Medication listReconciled across prescribersflagged Digest delivered · cited 100% · no findings authored How it works ### 3 steps between the file and the exam room. 01 #### Send the claimant file The DDS packet as you received it — treatment notes, hospital records, imaging reports, pharmacy history, in any format and any order. 02 #### We return the digest, page-cited A short brief: the conditions documented, the treatment tried, the imaging on record, and the medications, each line citing the page it came from. 03 #### The examiner reads it before the exam The physician walks in with the history already in hand and performs the examination. Every finding in the CE report is theirs, made in person. The boundary, in writing ### A digest of the file, not a substitute for the examination. We condense and cite what the prior record already documents. We do not examine the claimant, author findings, offer a diagnosis or prognosis, or state whether any Listing is met. The examination and every clinical conclusion in the CE report belong to the examining physician. In the demo case, page 140 turned out to belong to a different patient. The digest flags it and quarantines it in its own line, instead of folding it silently into the history the examiner reads.

IN ACTION · record digest → exam-ready brief ](https://medrecords.ai/product/summaries/) FAQ ### SSA consultative exam digests, answered. No. The consultative examination report is the examining physician's document, based on the examination they perform. We produce a page-cited digest of the prior record that the physician can read beforehand. Findings, diagnosis, and prognosis under 20 CFR §404.1519n(c) are theirs alone. No. We cite what the record documents — the conditions, treatments, imaging, and medications, each linked to its source page. Whether those facts satisfy a Listing in 20 CFR Pt 404 Subpt P App 1 is a disability determination made by the DDS examiner or an ALJ, not by us. Short enough to be read before a 20-minute appointment. The length follows the file: a 300-page packet with a single condition condenses further than a 3,000-page packet spanning a decade of comorbidities. Every line carries its page citation, so anything can be opened in full. 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 1 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.
