Find gaps and duplicates in a medical-record set
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- List missing date ranges, duplicate pages, and providers named in a record who have no records in the set. Do not guess what the missing record says.
- What the lawyer must review
- You decide which gaps matter and which providers to subpoena. The records are PHI under 45 C.F.R. § 164.502 if a covered entity or business associate holds them, and they are confidential under Model Rule 1.6 in any event. Formal Opinion 512: a tool's gap list is a lead, and you verify it against the file. Rule 26(b)(1) proportionality governs how far discovery goes once a case is filed.
