Common Questions
Why do some documents show “No events extracted”? Not all documents contain medical treatment events. Administrative, billing, and non-clinical records are included for completeness but may not generate timeline entries.
Tips for Using Medical Chronologies
Pair with Medical Billing Summaries Use Medical Chronologies alongside Medical Billing Summaries to connect treatment timelines with accurate billing totals. This combination helps you clearly show not just what treatment occurred and when, but also how much it cost. Together, they provide a stronger foundation for demand letters, negotiations, and case valuation.
Incorporate into the AI Assistant Upload your generated Medical Chronology into Paxton’s AI Assistant to enhance drafting of legal documents, such as demand letters, deposition outlines, or internal case summaries. Adding your Medical Billing Summary alongside the chronology ensures the Assistant pulls both clinical events and financial data into the draft, resulting in a more complete narrative.
