Discuss this level → Starting prices reflect a defined record set and review scope. Final pricing depends on record volume, record quality, number of facilities, date range, specialty, urgency, requested depth, supplemental records, OCR quality, duplicate burden, and requested verification level. Every engagement is confirmed in writing before production begins.
Screening helps prioritize records, questions, and potential expert needs. It is not an expert opinion or independent determination of case merit.
