MEDICAL FILE REVIEWS IN OHIO
Expert Medical Opinions.
No Examination Required.
Metrix Medical & Consulting provides comprehensive medical file reviews for attorneys, insurance carriers, third-party administrators, employers, and government agencies throughout Ohio.
Medical file reviews are personally conducted by Dr. Babatunde Onamusi, MD, MPH, a board-certified Occupational & Environmental Medicine physician with more than 25 years of experience evaluating causation, treatment appropriateness, disability, work capacity, impairment, and occupational health issues.
When an in-person examination is unnecessary or impractical, a medical file review can provide a timely, objective, and evidence-based medical opinion.

What Is a Medical File Review?
A medical file review is a physician analysis of medical records, diagnostic studies, treatment documentation, prior evaluations, and related evidence without conducting a physical examination of the individual.
The purpose of the review is to answer specific clinical questions posed by the requesting party using accepted medical standards and objective analysis.
MEDICAL FILE REVIEWS MAY ADDRESS:
Causation
Permanent impairment
Treatment appropriateness
Functional limitations
Diagnostic validity
Medical necessity
Disability and work capacity
Utilization review questions
Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)
Consistency of reported symptoms with objective findings

When Is a Medical File Review Appropriate?
Medical file reviews are often appropriate when:
An examinee is unavailable for evaluation
A physical examination is unnecessary
Causation questions can be answered through records alone
Treatment appropriateness must be assessed
Utilization review is requested
A second medical opinion is needed
Diagnostic clarification is required
Cost-effective case review is preferred
