What Is Life Care Planning?

According to the American Academy of Physician Life Care Planners, life care planning is a process of applying objective methodological analysis to formulate diagnostic conclusions and opinions regarding physical and/or mental impairment and disability for the purpose of determining care requirements for individuals with permanent or chronic medical conditions.

Life care plans are comprehensive documents that objectively identify the residual medical conditions and ongoing care requirements of ill or injured individuals and quantify the costs of providing these individuals with the requisite, medically related goods and services throughout the probable duration of care.

Life care plans are objective works that provide material evidence regarding the existence, significance, and validity of an individual’s medical conditions. They provide litigators, insurance companies, trusts, and courts with a qualified, quantitative, and referenceable basis upon which to assess and substantiate the monetary value of an individual’s future medical needs.

Physician Qualifications & Specialties

Our life care plans are developed by physicians, many of whom are board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, a specialty uniquely suited to evaluating functional outcomes and long-term recovery, while others on our team are board-certified in different medical specialties that bring additional depth to our evaluations. Many of our physicians also hold additional board certifications or advanced training in areas like brain injury medicine, spinal cord medicine, and pain medicine. This allows our team to assess complex injuries, from traumatic brain injuries to catastrophic orthopedic trauma, with a comprehensive, systems-based perspective.
