Reply to list Reply to sender Print List: lawnet Sent By: Charles Cleveland Reply To Sender Reply To List Search Settings I am using the open AI chatGTP 5 business enterprise. It's $300 a year per user and sets up a closed loop AI for your business. Anything that you upload does not get put into the general AI training modules or out onto the Internet so it maintains client confidentiality and HIPPA regulations. It has unlimited queries and deletes your uploaded reports/records upon completion of the session. A great tool for scraping information from voluminous medical records. You can set it up so that it can access all of your scanned petitions, briefs, case law, training materials, Worker's Compensation quarterlies etc. in PDF to be accessed from a Dropbox or other secure location for research as well if you want it limited to your own sources instead of the general Internet. It can search through your entire body of past work in seconds to find the exact document or pleading that you're looking for. I have found it to be a big timesaver. Charles R.

Concentra gave work restrictions and employer never offered modified work. QME gave her retroactive TTD back to July 2, 2024 if there was no modified work available.

If the case is still within the five year to reopen and the injury is serious enough you have to consider whether the amount you are getting is enough to cover any potential increase in PD.
