Life Care Planning (LCP)
A dynamic document based upon published standards of practice, comprehensive assessment, data analysis, and research. The Life Care Plan (LCP) provides an organized, concise road map for current and future needs with associated costs for individuals who have experienced catastrophic injury or have chronic health care needs. Our consultants are experienced and certified life care planners committed to comprehensively evaluating the overall impact of a disability. We maintain the highest ethical standards outlined by our profession and only rely on up-to-date, reliable, and validated research and resources to support our recommendations.

Long Term Care Planning
For less catastrophic injuries, a long-term care plan can be developed that captures independent and community support, and any additional services necessary following the onset of an injury or disability.

Medicare Set-Aside (MSA)
The MSA is a document that includes an evaluation of future medical costs in order to protect Medicare’s financial interests. The MSA ensures that Medicare is not the primary payer, by setting aside a sum of money from a settlement to cover future anticipated Medicare covered expenses related to a claimant’s compensable injuries. MSA’s developed by consultants at Absolute Care Planning are based on the most current legislation and mandates relating to Medicare and individuals involved in disability / injury-related settlements.

Vocational Evaluation
A vocational evaluation is a comprehensive process involving a methodical evaluation of an individual’s medical, psychological, social, vocational, educational background. The process may include a series of vocational assessments to gather data in order to evaluate an individual’s vocational capacity following the onset of an injury or disability. Types of vocational assessments often administered include: interest inventories, achievement tests, aptitude assessments, intelligence / IQ tests, and personality assessments. The vocational evaluation can be critical in determining the damages associated with loss of vocational capacity following an injury or onset of a disability.

Earning Capacity / Wage Loss Analysis
An earning capacity analysis examines within a reasonable degree of rehabilitation probability an individual’s capacity to develop educationally and vocationally prior to an injury and cites representative earnings. Then the person’s capacity to develop post-injury is presented with the accompanying representative earnings. Issues involving additional training and any appropriate recommendations for mitigating the impact are also presented.
