Life Care Plans

Life Care Plans are expertly formulated medical valuations that objectively identify a subject’s medical conditions and future care requirements, and they quantify the costs of those requirements in monetary terms. A properly formulated life care plan effectively addresses The Basic Questions of Life Care Planning and accomplishes the Clinical Objectives of Life Care Planning.

The Basic Questions of Life Care Planning:

What is a subject’s condition?

What medically related goods and services does a subject’s condition require?

How much will those requirements cost over time?

Present Value Assessments of Life Care Plans

Present Value Assessments convert the nominal value of life care plans to present value. In short, they quantify the time value of money. Time value of money calculations seek to equate the present value of money (what it’s worth today) to the future value of money (what it’s worth in the future), and vice versa. To accurately calculate the amount of money an individual would require today to afford medical costs that will occur in the future, two important considerations must be accounted for:

  • The impact of inflation on the prices of medically-related goods and services.
  • The amount of interest an individual will be able to earn between now and the time at which their future medically-related expenditures are forecast to occur.

All Present Value Assessments of Life Care Plans are formulated by qualified financial analysts and forensic economists employing fundamental, highly transparent, pro forma discounted cash flow analysis.

What is present value, and why should life care plans be quantified in present value?

For a Life Care Plan to appropriately provide for all the needs of an individual, the plan must have a strong medical foundation. Physicians specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation (physiatrists) are uniquely qualified to provide a strong medical foundation for life care planning based on their training and experience in providing medical and rehabilitative services to individuals with disabilities.
