Your Options for Workplace Injury Cost Assessments
Life Care Plans
A Life Care Plan is a comprehensive record of the future costs expected in relation to a specific injury. These plans are meant to cover all medical and non-medical costs for the injured party.
Medical Cost Projections
A Medical Cost Projection also seeks to assess all future medical costs associated with an injury. However, an MCP report is generally shorter than a Life Care Plan, making it ideal for most cases.

Which Do You Need: A Workplace Injury Life Care Plan or Medical Cost Assessment?
If you have a workplace injury case with medical damages, you already know you’re going to need a calculation of all future medical expenses related to that injury. What you might not know is which type of report you need: a Life Care Plan or a Medical Cost Projection.
The team of Certified Life Care Planners here at DM Medical would be happy to help you determine which type of report will best support your case, but there are a few factors you can consider on your own. First, a Medical Cost Projection report can always be developed into a Life Care Plan if the case requires it. Second, a Life Care Plan is generally only recommended for catastrophic injuries and major commercial cases. This means that an MCP report is usually the recommended assessment for workplace injuries.
