1. Services
Company provides various services including medical canvassing, records retrieval, social media and background research, utilizing information collected via direct inquiry, third party data solutions, and the Internet. Medical checks / canvasses are conducted by contacting facilities in a specific geographical area where a claimant may have received medical treatment to determine certain criteria identified by the customer when the order is placed, that could include things such as determining if the claimant received treatment prior to the date of loss, verifying the alleged injuries for which the claimant sought treatment, determining whether the claimant has a history of injury claims, assessing whether the injuries occurred outside the course of employment, discovering unknown treatment information not previously disclosed, uncovering possible patterns of drug-seeking behavior, substantiating claimant statements about prior medical treatment, and creating a report of findings (collectively, “Canvassing Services”). Social media research is conducted by utilizing information provided by clients and third party data aggregators, to locate various social media profiles and online information about a particular individual. Company provides our clients with a conduit to view publicly available information as provided via the so-called World Wide Web. This information may include images, videos, sound, user shared and generated content, and other material from various Internet domains. The information is captured and generated in various computer formats such as MHTML, WARC, PDF, JPG, MP4 and others, which are then presented as archival files within our iTotalAccess platform and via a summary report (collectively “Social Media Services”).
