Just as not all doctors are quacks, not all attorneys are sharks. It is necessary, though to protect your office when dealing with attorneys. When an attorney requests a narrative report, talk extensively with the secretary. Verify that the attorney, in fact, wants a narrative report and not just a brief description of the treatment. Then, explain that your office would be happy to furnish the report when payment is received.
Some attorneys balk at paying for a report prior to receiving it.
Unfortunately, though, many attorneys neglect to pay for reports unless forced to pay in advance. The doctor's time is valuable and limited. I can assure you that as soon as payment is received, the report will receive top priority. If an attorney refuses to pay in advance, you must decide whether to provide the report. While the doctor obviously wants to do everything possible to help the patient, it is not fair to go unpaid for the time involved in report writing.
