Medical Canvassing is an extensive research and analysis process designed to uncover pre-existing conditions and unreported medical treatment. This analysis can help determine if a claimant’s history of medical treatments is accurate, as well as help to uncover incidents of attempted fraud.
Ontellus has completed over 1.5 Million medical canvasses on a national scale, providing the expertise to uncover and verify medical treatment history. With proven and streamlined workflows implemented for all major business lines in all 50 states, the Ontellus large facilities database is constantly verified.
Ontellus’ size and scale allows for technology investments that provide the top levels of security, usability, and automation. Our flat fee pricing makes billing a straight-forward and transparent process.
Utilizing our proprietary technology, MedCheckPro™, the Ontellus Medical Canvass Analysts search the specified area(s) and gather detailed information that may indicate the presence of a possible pre-existing condition. Our team of professionals has years of knowledge, skill and expertise at finding and identifying pre-existing conditions that claimants may not disclose.
Ontellus canvasses all medical facilities, clinics, physician offices, specialists, laboratories, physical therapy clinics, gyms, and pharmacies within a specified radius of the residence or workplace with the ability to extend the search if necessary.
Canvassing can assist all lines of insurance associated with any bodily injury claim (i.e. workers’ compensation, auto bodily injury, and disability). Irrespective of the line of insurance involved, the key point of consideration is that at any time a claimant and/or their attorney may knowingly withhold information pertaining to a claimant’s medical treatment history.
