Compliance Memo
2 specific issues identified and returned with the report.
Led by Whitney Young, bringing insider claims-adjudication expertise directly to your practice.
The gap between clinical care and claims approval
A psychologist can write a clinically accurate report that still fails at the claims stage. SSA, EDD, and VA adjudicators are not scoring for clinical insight; they are scoring for specific language about each function, mapped to their own criteria: duration, severity thresholds, and correctly completed form fields.
When the report falls short, the practice has already closed the file, and the patient is left to figure out what went wrong on their own.
What this service does
Before a completed evaluation or certification goes out, it is reviewed against the specific documentation standards of the relevant agency. The review checks structure, required language, and completeness, and returns a short compliance memo within 48-72 hours flagging anything likely to trigger delay or denial, with the specific fix identified.

Why this matters for your practice
For a small or independently run practice, this kind of support is usually the first thing to fall away, not because it does not matter, but because building it in-house means hiring, training, and managing another role.
Incomplete or non-compliant paperwork reflects on the practice regardless of clinical accuracy. A review layer closes that gap.
Build a working record of the specific issues that trigger denials for your patient population, so patterns surface over time.
Attorneys, VSOs, and case managers want assurance the paperwork will hold up once it leaves your office.
Support is there when report volume picks up and does not cost you anything when it does not.
Clinicians focus on the evaluation itself rather than tracking the changing requirements of three different agencies.
Give patients a concrete answer when they ask, "Will this be enough?" before they leave.
