Why do attorneys need LNC’s?
While the attorney is the legal expert, the LNC is the expert on the healthcare system and its inner workings. Nowhere else will the legal profession have access to this level of cost-effective expertise for reviewing medical records and understanding and communicating the terminology and complexity of the healthcare system. Having a LNC on the legal team allows the attorney and paralegals to concentrate on the legal issues of a medical related case. The LNC can educate the legal team on medical related issues and the inner workings of the healthcare system.
