Personal injury software for orthopedic practices
When a personal injury patient isn't improving with conservative care, the case often goes to an orthopedic surgeon. The orthopedist's opinion on the injury, and whether surgery is recommended, can shape the rest of the case. MediFlow 360 gives orthopedic practices one shared case with the attorney and the referring providers, from the first consult to the last follow-up.
Where orthopedics fits in a PI case
Referrals usually come from a chiropractor, a physical therapist, an urgent care or the attorney, often with imaging already done. The orthopedist examines the patient, reviews the imaging and sets a path: more therapy, a referral to pain management, bracing or surgery.
The records that matter most to the attorney are the consult note, the imaging review, any surgical recommendation and the follow-up notes. The practice's bill, and later any surgery, is usually carried on a lien or letter of protection, and the attorney may ask the orthopedist for a written report on the injury and the care still ahead.
What MediFlow 360 does for orthopedics
Referrals with the prior care attached
The referral lands on the shared case with the patient, accident and attorney details, alongside the therapy notes and imaging reports earlier providers shared on the case.
Consult notes and recommendations, shared with the firm
Once a consult note or surgical recommendation is signed, the attorney on the case can see it in the attorney portal, without a phone call or a records request.
Liens and LOPs from the consult onward
Send a lien or letter of protection for e-signature at the first visit, and send a new one if surgery is added later. Each signed copy stays with the case, with a full audit trail.
One ledger from consult to surgery
Office visits, procedures and surgical charges sit on the practice's itemized ledger for the case, so the firm always sees the current balance.
Case updates from the firm
When the attorney posts a case update from their portal, it reaches every provider on the case, so your team hears about a new development without chasing the firm.
Working with your current systems
Your orthopedic EHR, imaging viewer and billing system stay in place. Yes, we can connect it, and we set it up when you need it.
Who uses it
Referral and intake coordinators, orthopedic surgeons and physician assistants who sign consult notes, surgical schedulers, PI billing and lien staff, and practice administrators. If your group also offers interventional pain care, see MediFlow 360 for pain management.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. When the consult note is signed, the attorney on the case can see it in the attorney portal, along with the imaging report and earlier treatment records shared on the case.
If those providers are on the same case, the records they shared are there when the referral arrives, based on your access.
Send a new lien or letter of protection for e-signature from the case. Every signed version stays with the case, with an audit trail showing who signed and when.
Your practice's charges sit on one itemized ledger for the case. If a surgery center bills separately, it keeps its own ledger and liens on the same case.
Orthopedics and pain management each have their own page. If your group offers both, the same shared case covers both kinds of care.
