Frequently Asked Questions

 Legal Nurse Consultants play a crucial role within the legal system. LNCs utilize their expertise in nursing and healthcare to provide support and consultation to law firms that utilize medical records in their practice. Here's a concise breakdown of what they do:

• Case Analysis: LNCs review medical records, reports, and other healthcare-related documents to critically assess the medical aspects of a case.
• Expert Testimony: LNCs may provide expert testimony in court proceedings regarding medical issues, helping to clarify complex medical information for judges and juries.
• Research and Investigation: LNCs conduct peer-reviewed research on medical issues relevant to legal cases, helping attorneys understand the medical aspects of their cases thoroughly.
• Educational Support: LNCs educate attorneys and legal teams on medical terminology, procedures, and standards of care to ensure a comprehensive understanding of medical issues relevant to their cases.
• Risk Management: LNCs can advise healthcare facilities and professionals on risk management strategies to minimize legal exposure and ensure compliance with healthcare regulations.

Overall, Legal Nurse Consultants bridge the gap between healthcare and the legal system, providing invaluable expertise to ensure that legal cases involving medical issues are thoroughly understood and effectively presented.

The LNC Store is in the process of creating educational training for Legal Nurse Consultants regardless of their experience. The educational content will be a combination of videos, PowerPoint presentations, and digital downloads of resource materials.

Our trainings will comprehensively cover core topics like:

• How to perform efficient medical record reviews
• How to review and present medical billing records
• Conducting audits on lien statements
• Defense Medical Examination observation and reporting

But first, we will create a la carte content covering less complex topics like:

• Business Entities
• Consulting Insurance
• Tax Deductions
• Business Plans
• Branding & Marketing
• Service Pricing & Invoicing
• And so much more!

You can see exactly what we have planned, but viewing "The LNC Store Products" page.

There is something for everyone!

We also encourage training suggestions to expand upon our current catalog of educational courses.

We currently provide virtual mentorship for the up-and-coming Legal Nurse Consultant to ensure they are set off on the right path. We will not turn anyone away who truly needs guidance and support, so our virtual mentorship is available to all LNCs, whether a new or experienced.

We currently offer a virtual mentorship as it will allow us to provide the most support at this time. It becomes incredibly difficult to coordinate schedules when providing face-to-face mentorship especially since new LNCs are still working in the hospitals/clinics and our mentorship team actively works on cases to remain up-to-date on industry practices.

Because we do not have scheduled appointments to provide mentorship services, we can allow our students to submit as many messages as needed without limitations.  Our students pay their mentorship dues monthly through auto-pay with no hidden fees or contracts, allowing them to maintain the control to cancel the unlimited support we provide at any time.

Depending on the feedback we receive and the ongoing needs of our students, we will consider adding live mentorship opportunities. If live mentorship becomes an option, we will add this option to our Product Catalog send notifications to all our past and current students.
