Understanding the Costs: In-House vs. Outsourced Record Retrieval

Beyond helping your clients get the settlements they are entitled to under your state’s laws, a primary goal for your law firm is to increase profits. Like many firms, your administrative staff may be overwhelmed by paperwork, leading to delays. If so, you need to compare in-house with outsourced record retrieval.

When you understand the comparative costs, time, and efficiency of handling record retrieval in-house vs. outsourcing, the conclusion is clear. National Record Retrieval’s stellar services are more cost-effective than tackling these duties on your own. Keep reading to understand why.

Your Support Staff Are Valuable

Studies indicate that the average salary for a paralegal in the U.S. is $61,010. By outsourcing your firm’s record retrieval and review services, you can put that investment to better use.

Your bottom line will benefit when your administrative personnel can focus on billable hours, such as communicating with clients, researching, and drafting court documents. Instead of having staff concentrate hours on manually requesting, following up, scanning, and uploading medical records to your case management software, our experienced record retrieval team could do it faster while maintaining compliance with HIPAA and other industry regulations.

Time Is Money

Without the medical documentation, your firm needs to represent your client’s interests in court; your chances of getting them the settlement they need significantly decrease. However, in-house record retrieval and review is a cost, labor, and time-intensive project. Our team is experienced at navigating this process and has strong relationships with providers to get you the evidence you need faster than industry standards. With quick and easy access to documents, your attorneys could increase their caseloads and bring in more revenue.
