Straight answers about Med-Legal.

Is Med-Legal software, or a service where people write the chronology?

Med-Legal is self-service software. Upload medical records to generate a cited chronology, fact ledger and indexed bundle, then review and approve the documents within your team.

Who is Med-Legal for?

Personal-injury and medical-malpractice teams in the United States, and medico-legal experts who want a cited chronology of the records before writing a report. Separate editions serve the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland and other markets at med-legal.net.

What do I get back?

Three documents. A Chronology & Medical Summary in Word, with every fact cited to the document and page it came from. A Fact Ledger listing every extracted fact with its source page and verified quote. And an indexed, paginated, hyperlinked bundle in PDF, ready for the court file.

How much does it cost?

Pay as you go, per document, no subscription. units purchased in packs, with volume packs that bring the per-document price down. A Chronology & Medical Summary is one unit whatever its page count; an Indexed & Paginated Bundle is four units. The first chronology and indexed bundle are free, once per account, with no card; further generation is paid. Full pricing is on the home page; the cost calculator compares it with agency rates.

How long does it take?

Most files come back in minutes. Very large scanned sets of one to two thousand pages take up to about an hour, because every page is read and every citation is checked. You are emailed when the document is ready, so you do not need to wait on the page.

How accurate is it, and how can I check it?

Source references and quoted-text checks help you check the chronology against the records. AI can make mistakes, so a qualified professional reviews and approves each draft before use. How review works.

Can it read scanned or handwritten records?

Yes. Scanned pages are read with optical character recognition. Dates that fail a sanity check, such as a date in the future, a date before the patient's birth, or a date the two reading passes disagree on, are withheld rather than guessed. Handwriting is read where it is legible; where it is not, the page is listed as unreadable rather than invented.

Where are the records processed, and how long are they kept?

Records are stored in Germany, with encrypted recovery copies in the UK. AI processing may take place outside the UK and EU. Original uploads are scheduled for deletion after 24 hours, once active processing finishes. Extracted text and generated documents remain until claim deletion; backups expire separately. See Security & data and our Privacy Policy.

Is the bundle suitable for court?

The bundle is continuously paginated, indexed, bookmarked and hyperlinked, with records grouped by provider, built around US civil-procedure production practice: continuous page numbering across the whole set, provider grouping and a hyperlinked index (Bates stamping is left to your own production tool). As with every output, a counsel reviews and approves it before it is filed. See how to prepare a paginated, indexed medical bundle.

Do I need a subscription or a contract?

No. There is no subscription, no monthly minimum and no contract. You buy units when you need them and they do not expire.

How do I start?

Sign up, verify your email, accept the agreement, create a claim and upload the records. The first chronology and indexed bundle are free, once per account and no card is needed. Bring a messy file: scans, handwriting, several providers out of order. Then open the citations.
