Our Medical Checks / Canvasses are designed to contact the closest 15 medical facilities in a specific geographical area, up to a 70 mile radius, to find When & Where a Claimant may have received medical treatment. The starting point is usually the Claimant's home address but it can be equally helpful to search the area around a Claimant's work address or even a prior address.
INTERTEL's primary Clientele consists of insurance companies, Third Party Administrators (TPA's), self-insured companies and attorney's specializing in insurance defense. With strategic service centers around the country, INTERTEL conducts Medical canvasses related to insurance matters ONLY! No matter the line of insurance involved, the key point of consideration is that at any time a claimant and/or their attorney may knowingly withhold information pertaining to a claimant's medical treatment history. As an example, claimants often "pick and choose" what medical information is being shared whether it is a 1st party or 3rd party claim. In any case, being able to further validate or discover other medical providers involved in treating the claimant is always going to be critical in evaluating the claim as well as potentially identifying a clear picture of exposure.
