What is a Life Care Plan?

A Life Care Plan (LCP) is a detailed chronological review of the medical history, current status, and projected medical services. The LCP provides a comprehensive projected cost for future care based upon the established medical treatment plan. This involves a review of all medical records, contact with current treating providers and when appropriate, an assessment of the injured or ill individual. A LCP is recognized as a ‘living document’, and is based on published standards of practice. The LCP is most often used for litigation purposes (mediation or settlement.)

With our life care plans we aim to create a comprehensive care plan, while providing an efficient and cost effective service, that maximizes independence through lifestyle modification, alleviation of suffering caused by the diagnosis and prevention of complications.

Plan development time may vary on a case by case basis

Once we are retained, a board certified life care planner is assigned to your case based on factors such as age of individual, diagnosis, timeline, and parties in the case. We then review available medical records and pertinent legal documents. The GLCPS care planner performs an Independent Medical Evaluation and interviews family members involved in the individual’s care. If available and necessary, treating physicians are consulted. The life care plan is then formulated. We are also available to evaluate an existing LCP.
