What is a managed care expert witness?

Managed care expert witness candidates typically have backgrounds as a physician, legal nurse consultant, specialized medical expert, and/or in the health insurance industry. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, legal counsel may request an expert with prior expert testimony experience. The expertise of a managed care expert witness will provide credibility to enable the jury to consider the evidence with the weight it deserves.

What types of cases require a managed care expert witness?

Litigation support matters requiring a managed care expert witness often involve medical malpractice cases, personal injury, managed care health plan disputes, standards of care, pain management, or medical billing.

According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine, managed care programs are:

Health insurance plans intended to reduce unnecessary health care costs through a variety of mechanisms, including: economic incentives for physicians and patients to select less costly forms of care; programs for reviewing the medical necessity of specific services; increased beneficiary cost sharing; controls on inpatient admissions and lengths of stay; the establishment of cost-sharing incentives for outpatient surgery; selective contracting with health care providers; and the intensive management of high-cost health care cases. The programs may be provided in a variety of settings, such as health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations.
