Life Care Plans
What Is a Life Care Plan?
A life care plan uses recommendations from medical providers, medical records, and evidence-based guidelines to create a detailed plan for future medical care for the catastrophically injured, non-catastrophically injured, or chronically ill. The plan details a comprehensive objective estimate, in present-day value, of an individual’s future medical and non-medical needs throughout their lifetime based on specific injuries or illnesses sustained.
Assessing and calculating future medical costs is an indispensable part of any personal injury case, and those calculations are especially important in cases in which injuries are expected to have lifelong effects and require long-term care.
Our Texas Life Care Planners will carefully evaluate the individual needs and goals of the patient to create a plan that ensures proper care for future needs. For an accurate, comprehensive Life Care Plan, turn to a Certified Life Care Planner at DM Medical Cost Consulting.

Do You Need a Life Care Plan or a Medical Cost Projection?
Many of our clients come to us unsure whether they need a Life Care Plan or a Medical Cost Projection. We’re happy to help you determine which is needed in your case, but there are a few key differences that you can keep in mind. First of all, Medical Cost Projections are shorter than Life Care Plans, helping them come in at a lower cost.
