Life Care Plan
A Life Care Plan is a tool used for the purpose of estimating the medical and non-medical cost for a person with a chronic or catastrophic injury or illness. The Life Care Plan address goods and services, projects equipment needs, replacement schedules, and maintenance over an estimated life span. It is based on individual needs � no two are the same. ALP Medical Consultants has completed numerous life care plans including plans for children and adults with Cerebral Palsy, amputations, burns, spinal cord injuries, and brain injuries.

Life Care Plan Critique
ALP Medical consultants provide a LCP Critique service. This is a review of a life care plan from the opposing side. It is compared against the diagnosis, available medical records and research of the file. We look at services, pricing and frequency. We can provide a written report or a verbal report. This will help you to identify areas where the plan is deficient and where it may be excessive.

Medical Cost Projection

We teach them basic accounting that is required by CMS for self administration. Telephone support is included during the year. We will meet with them when they are ready to send in the annual accounting to CMS to help them learn how to perform that correctly. This is a flat fee service for one year. After the one year, telephone support or home support is available for additional fees.
