Requesting narrative reports from treating doctors

A narrative report puts a doctor's opinions about the injury in writing. Requests often take weeks and come with a fee, so tracking them matters.

Counsel decides when a narrative report is needed and what questions to ask the doctor. Support staff send the request, pay the fee if counsel approves, and follow up.

Track each request

  • The client and the doctor.
  • The date requested and the questions sent.
  • The fee, and when it was paid.
  • Follow-up dates.
  • The date received and sent to counsel.

Follow up kindly

Doctors' offices are busy. A polite call every week or two keeps the request moving.
