Record Retrieval to Beat Inflation

Sticky Post By Posted in Company Permalink

When inflation hits, everybody feels it. Whether we’re filling our gas tanks, picking up a gallon of milk, or buying new socks for the kids, the sticker shock is everywhere, and we’re all just doing our best to cope with it by reducing costs wherever we can, at home and at the office.

Yet, in the midst of economic chaos, there’s one glimmer of hope: The cost of record retrieval is stable at The Records Company. Our flat rate remains… flat. Plus, the copying and transmission fees for medical records are set by state and local regulations not subject to the whims of inflation rates. This means we are all set to help you keep your operating budget tight without sacrificing service.

It’s fair to wonder how outsourcing record retrieval and paying someone else to do it can save you money. After all, you have paralegals to handle things like record retrieval, right? Well, yes, but ask yourself if that’s the best use of their time. Paralegals are trained to assist with demanding tasks: discovery, client contact, drafting documents, and other actions more complex than waiting on hold with a hospital record department halfway across the country. A typical record retrieval can take four to six man-hours for a single file, and you’re paying your paralegal staff for those hours plus the hours they’re spending on their other responsibilities.

On the other hand, by bringing our team of record retrieval specialists on board, you pay a flat fee per record, not per hour, which sets your paralegal staff free to focus their hours on all those other things they need to do. Because our platform is easy to use and our team is ready with support when you need it, you can easily train other office staff with lighter workloads to take over submitting forms through our secure portal. Your team operates at a net savings of time and money because you’re getting more from all members of your team. Take that, inflation!

Plus, our specialists and network of contacts allow us to deliver the records you need in far less time. The added efficiency you get from combining your team with ours will have you resolving cases faster, keeping your clients satisfied and your income flowing. It’s a win-win-win that requires no contract or long-term commitment. You simply set up an account and start saving time and money. If you want to learn more about the range of services we provide that can keep your firm running efficiently and beat inflation, contact us. We’d love to hear from you.
