## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Health & Medical Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/health-and-medical-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | From the request and the practice’s records, build a table of the services and item numbers in the review period with the clinical record supporting each, mark where the record is missing or does not match the item descriptor, and index the documents produced. The tool writes nothing in the practitioner’s submissions or statements. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer advises the practitioner on the process and risk, decides whether to offer a voluntary acknowledgement or agreement, prepares any submission and the practitioner’s own account with them, and checks that patient records are produced only as required. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

- What the AI does: From the request and the practice’s records, build a table of the services and item numbers in the review period with the clinical record supporting each, mark where the record is missing or does not match the item descriptor, and index the documents produced. The tool writes nothing in the practitioner’s submissions or statements.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer advises the practitioner on the process and risk, decides whether to offer a voluntary acknowledgement or agreement, prepares any submission and the practitioner’s own account with them, and checks that patient records are produced only as required.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.
- Restriction: The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm patient health information goes only into a tool the practice has approved for health records, de-identified where the task allows, and that the output discloses no patient detail beyond what the recipient needs.
2. Check each item number and date against the clinical record, not the billing extract alone.
3. Confirm no tool wording has been carried into any submission or statement.
4. Confirm the response deadline from the request.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
