| Life Care Plan:
"A dynamic document based upon published
standards of practice, comprehensive assessment,
data analysis and research, which provides
an organized, concise plan for current and
future needs, with associated costs, for individuals
who have experienced catastrophic injury or
have chronic care needs."
In short a Life Care Plan
is a tool used for the purpose of estimating
the medical and non-medical needs of an injured
person over their estimated life span. Life
Care Planning allows adjusters and attorneys
to plan for the future of their disabled individuals
with the knowledge of when and how the expenditures
for care will be allocated, allowing for financial
planning and the setting of reserves from
provider sources. Life Care Plans also provide
an excellent tool for claim settlement negotiations.
