Become a Reviewer

  Thank you for your interest in MedicoLegal Consultants. Perhaps you will consider joining
our select group of physicians and surgeons and other health-care experts. These highly
competent professionals have agreed to serve as consultants and case reviewers in a
variety of health-related legal and administrative proceedings. Many perform independent
medical reviews and examinations. Our clients include plaintiffs' and defense attorneys,
insurance companies, regulatory and professional agencies and private individuals
nationwide.

  There are openings for reviewers in virtually all medical and paramedical specialties and subspecialties.
Reviewers generally examine original medical documents for evidence of error or possible malpractice. In
  most cases, a short (less than one page) written report is required. They are not required to participate in
formal legal proceedings such as depositions, hearings or trials. Occasionally, a sworn affidavit is needed.
Some members of our expert panels also wish to work as reviewers.

  Our hourly fee scale for case reviewers is $125-150 for board-certified physicians and surgeons, $100 for non
board-certified physicians, dentists and Ph.D. scientists, $75 for nurses (R.N.), pharmacists, podiatrists,
chiropractors and paramedics. There is a three hour maximum per case which includes the report. Additional
time for lengthy cases may be arranged in advance.

  Case assignment is a complex matter and depends mostly on our clients' requirements and the availability of
reviewers in a particular field and geographic region. Consequently, we cannot guarantee that a reviewer will
be offered a certain number of cases.

  If you are interested in becoming a reviewer, please register by clicking on the Medical Reviewer Information
Form, completing and returning it to us along with a copy of your latest CV and the $25 non-refundable
registration fee.* All reviewer application forms should be sent to our Los Angeles mailing address.
