LIFE CARE PLAN REBUTTAL

A Life Care Plan Rebuttal provides a second opinion regarding what future care needs and costs are reasonably anticipated for an individual. Whether completing the initial Life Care Plan assessment or providing a review of a Life Care Plan already completed, the fundamental process is the same:
Consistency in the approach is critical and the plan one develops should not be influenced by the referral source.

In cases of Life Care Plan Rebuttals, the life care planner does not always have the opportunity to perform a clinical interview with the individual and may not be allowed contact with the treating health care team. Nevertheless, a comprehensive review of medical records and other supportive documentation ensures the rebuttal report meets published standards of practice and is founded on documented medical opinion.
