What does medical record review cost?

Most record review vendors answer this question with "request a quote." Here is the actual answer.

The two pricing models

Record review is sold two ways: by the hour and by the page. Hourly pricing means you learn the cost after the work is done, and a slow reviewer costs you more than a fast one. Per-page pricing means the invoice is arithmetic you can do yourself before anything is uploaded. MedChrona publishes per-page rates for exactly that reason.

Published rates

A chronological Record Summary is $0.20 per page. Summary + Analysis, which adds identification of significant findings and apparent anomalies in context, is $0.30 per page. Every accessible, readable file in your confirmed case is counted: PDFs by page count, images as a page each, other formats by page count after conversion. There are no setup fees, no minimums, and no retainers. Sorting, organization, and secure portal delivery are included.

A worked example

A 1,742-page motor vehicle case: the Record Summary costs 1,742 times $0.20, which is $348.40. Summary + Analysis on the same file is $522.60. Payment starts the review and sets a committed completion date; standard turnaround is six to ten business days.

Rush pricing

When the calendar demands it, a two to five business day rush adds 25% of the case total, and next-business-day service adds 50%, each confirmed before you commit. On that same 1,742-page Record Summary, the rush options come to $435.50 and $522.60 respectively.

Expert opinions are priced differently

Written expert opinions on causation, permanency, disability, and future care are a separate physician-specific engagement, quoted per case from a medical-legal fee schedule, because expert work scales with the questions asked rather than the page count alone.

Price your own case in a minute

The instant estimator counts your PDFs in your browser and shows the total at both tiers, including rush options. Nothing is uploaded and your files never leave your computer, so it is safe to use with real records. If you like the number, register for access and your workspace is ready the same business day.
