Life Care Planning

Addressing future needs and costs with complete accuracy.

Life care planning is a tool used to project future needs, services, and related costs associated with a catastrophic injury. For over 30 years, CorVel’s certified nurse life care planners have provided accurate future cost projections, medical cost projections, and complex life care plans. We use comprehensive methods to determine care needs no matter how unique the case is, and we outline all costs in detailed reports.

We summarize extensive amounts of information into reliable reports:

Life Care Plans

Our certified nurses meet with an injured worker in their home and consult with the treating physician to provide a cost estimate of the care needed. The life care plan includes a summary of the injury, medical treatment, and current status of the claimant.

Future Cost Projections

Using existing medical records, invoices, pharmacy fill history, and other key data, the nurse will estimate claim-related medical treatment costs and non-medical costs.

Medicare Cost Projections

Including a short synopsis of medical treatment, these projections are key for reserve setting and state-mandated reports and include lifetime cost estimates for claim-related medical treatment and non-medical costs.
