Record review · Robert Cai, MD
Independent neurology and epilepsy medical record review
I review neurology and epilepsy records and give independent, record-based opinions for plaintiff and defense counsel, insurers, and review organizations. I'm a board-certified neurologist (ABPN); board-eligible and fellowship-trained in epilepsy; community faculty, University of Nevada, Reno.

Stroke
Diagnosis, timing, and standard of care in acute stroke evaluation and treatment.
EEG studies and reports
Independent review of routine, ambulatory, and long-term EEG studies and reports.
Standard of care

Fees and process
How a review works
- Send the basics. Send your organization's name, the general type of review requested and your deadline. Do not include patient names, case captions, identifiers or medical records in the first inquiry.
- Conflict check. I confirm there's no conflict before reviewing anything. I do not accept matters in which the United States or the VA is a party or has a direct and substantial interest.
- Secure transfer. We agree how any necessary records will be transferred securely before you send them.
- Fees. Record review is $650/hr, with a $3,500 advance due before review begins. Turnaround is confirmed at intake. Full terms are on the attorney page.
Medicolegal engagements do not create a physician-patient relationship.
