Know the Important Differences Between Expert Referral Services

What’s the difference between an expert witness referral service that case manages and those that do not? Expert witness referral services that case manage engagements offer back office services to the expert physician/health care professional such as billing, collection, coordinating scheduling and such: The service is in control. But there’s plenty of experts who prefer to stay in control of the engagement and deal directly with their clients on all matters including contracting, billing, communications and scheduling. In such cases, the referral service “makes the match” for a fee charged to the attorney and then “get’s out of the way”. The physician then uses their own contract to establish the legal relationship with the client and issues their own invoices and handles all collections etc. Some experts find handling the back office tasks cumbersome while others relish running all aspects of their expert witness business.
