Compliance Coding has long recognized the inestimable value of having legal nurse consultants on staff. We are unique in that we employ several levels of LNC’s; All of our registered nurses have BSN’s or advanced degrees; some have JD’s, some are Bar admitted Attorneys and we also offer AAPC RN’s when reimbursement reviews are indicated. The majority of our LNC’s are members of AALNC.

Our RN staff have extensive experience in multiple specialties, in both inpatient & outpatient settings, with both adult & pediatric populations and RN specialists in Workman’s Compensation, OSHA, Disability & ERISA

At Compliance Coding our LNC’s are equally dedicated to medical malpractice & personal injury actions representing injured individuals, as well as to mass tort actions where the focus is on medical products and devices involving multiple plaintiffs. However our LNC’s can also assist attorneys and insurance department litigators in evaluating claims involving bodily injury.
