HOUSTON, November 13, 2025 – Ontellus, a leading provider of end-to-end medical records retrieval and claims intelligence, today announced it has been named “Document Capture Solution of the Year” in the 6th annual LegalTech Breakthrough Awards. This award recognizes My.Ontellus, the company’s end-to-end records management and secure exchange platform, for redefining how legal and insurance professionals request, manage, and analyze complex and unstructured medical data. 

My.Ontellus streamlines the records retrieval process from start to finish, enabling legal teams, law firms, and claims professionals to manage both medical records and diagnostic images with speed, accuracy, and confidence while supporting HIPAA compliance and other privacy and security regulations. 

“Accuracy, speed, and data integrity are critical to driving case outcomes. Ontellus is redefining records retrieval as a true strategic advantage,” said Vince Cole, CEO of Ontellus. “Our platform goes beyond document delivery, it integrates advanced automation, quality controls, and analytics that accelerate timelines, minimize risk, and empower legal teams to make faster, more confident decisions. This recognition from LegalTech Breakthrough affirms our commitment to operational excellence and innovation in legal intelligence."

Ontellus earned this recognition for removing key barriers in records retrieval. My.Ontellus manages the full authorization process on behalf of requesters, ensuring compliance while sharply reducing turnaround times. Its custodian network and automation tools accelerate outreach and data collection, while complementary services such as medical and social canvassing help uncover records that might otherwise be missed. 

The platform’s DICOM document capture and viewing allows users to request, review, and securely share diagnostic DICOM images alongside traditional records. This capability unifies imaging and documentation within a single workflow, creating a more complete and efficient case file for legal teams. 

My.Ontellus enhances both accuracy and security through expert document review and SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure. Intelligent data management organizes records and images into structured timelines, giving legal teams faster insights, clearer visibility, and stronger case outcomes.  

“Ontellus provides legal professionals with speed, accuracy, and confidence when it comes to records retrieval. Records are more than background documents, they are the foundation on which legal outcomes are built. Yet retrieving those records is often slowed by authorization hurdles, inconsistent protocols across institutions, and the complexity of managing sensitive data at scale,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director, LegalTech Breakthrough. “By addressing every stage of the retrieval journey, from authorizations and collection to review, digitization, and data management, Ontellus provides an end-to-end solution unmatched in scope and efficiency. We’re proud to award them with ‘Document Capture Solution of the Year!’” 

The LegalTech Breakthrough Awards recognize companies driving innovation, efficiency, and modernization across the global legal technology market. The 2025 program received thousands of nominations from around the world, underscoring the accelerating adoption of technology that is transforming how legal work is done.
