508 Critical LNC Case Intake Questions – Stacey Lohmeier

August 16, 2022

Stacey Lohmeier brings a wealth of nursing experience to her LNC work. She is also skilled in working effectively with attorneys, a huge aspect of an LNC’s work.

She advises LNCs to get a clear picture during an initial case intake of what the attorneys expect from them. The LNC needs practical information, such as what kinds of reports the attorney wants. Equally important, though, is to assess how the attorney feels about working with an LNC. Some are new to the concept and possibly dubious. They may not know in depth what an LNC does. In those instances, the LNC has an opportunity to educate and at the same time to strengthen the credibility of our profession.

Stacey also advises LNCs to be cautious when an attorney wants work on a case with a rapidly approaching statute of limitations. They must consider the complexity of the case and the volume of medical data before coming to an agreement.

These are but a few of the recommendations Stacey shares from her years of experience. She also tells some fascinating and cautionary tales from her own practice. This podcast will deepen your knowledge of how to handle some of the important challenges in an LNC’s work.
