Frequently Asked Questions
Do you act as both treating therapist and expert on the same case?
We have a large team so we can allocate on a case by case basis. To avoid conflicts of interest, we can separate our Treating and Expert roles.
What are your timescales for a Quantum Report?
Following assessment, we typically submit the final report within 4-6 weeks, subject to the complexity of medical records review.
Do you undertake deferred payment work?
Generally we do not. But we are happy to discuss individual cases where this may be necessary.
