Terms of Use

Scope of these terms

These terms cover this website and nothing else. Any report, review, consultation, deposition or trial testimony we provide is governed by a separate written engagement agreement signed by both parties, together with a Business Associate Agreement where protected health information is involved. If anything in those signed agreements conflicts with anything on this site or in these terms, the signed agreements control.

What this practice does, and what it does not do

Fair Measure prepares medical billing and coding analysis reports. The reports are signed by a Certified Professional Coder and address coding accuracy and the reasonableness of charges measured against published fee schedules, hospital price transparency files and usual and customary benchmarks.

We do not give medical or clinical opinions. The expert who signs is a Certified Professional Coder and not a physician. Nothing we produce addresses whether treatment was medically necessary, whether care was related to an incident, the standard of care, what a physician should have done, or any clinical question about a patient. Opinions of that kind require a qualified medical professional.

We do not give legal advice. We are not a law firm, we do not practise law, and nothing we produce is a legal opinion or a recommendation about how to conduct a case, a claim, a negotiation or a defense.

Content on this site is general information about the practice. It is not advice of any kind and must not be relied on as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional retained on your matter.

No relationship is created by using this site

Visiting this site, reading it, or sending us a message through the contact form does not retain us, does not create a professional or expert relationship, does not create an attorney-client relationship, and does not make us your agent or consultant. We are retained only when a written engagement agreement has been signed by both parties.

We perform no conflict check on an unsolicited message. We take work from whoever sends it, and we may already be retained, or may later be retained, by a party adverse to you in the same matter. Nothing you send through this site before an engagement is signed is treated as confidential, privileged, or work product, and sending it creates no duty on our part to decline other work. Do not send anything through this site that you would not want read by someone on the other side of your case.

Nothing on this site is an offer

Fees, turnaround times, scope descriptions and the report guarantee described on this site are provided for information so that a prospective client can judge whether to make contact. They are descriptions of how this practice normally works. They are not an offer, a quotation, a warranty, or a binding commitment, and they take effect only through a signed engagement agreement for a specific matter.

Fees described on this site are for the preparation of a report and do not include deposition or trial testimony, which is quoted separately.

Stated turnaround runs from receipt of a complete file, meaning the itemized bills and the associated records required for the review, and is subject to the terms of the engagement agreement. We may decline any matter for any lawful reason, including conflicts, capacity, or a matter that falls outside the scope described above. Prices may change at any time, and the price that applies to a matter is the price stated in its engagement agreement.

No guarantee of outcome

We do not guarantee any result. We do not guarantee that a report, an opinion, or a witness will be admitted, accepted, qualified, credited or relied on by any court, arbitrator, mediator, carrier or opposing party, and we do not guarantee any outcome in any proceeding, settlement or negotiation. Those decisions belong to tribunals and other parties and are outside our control.

Our analysis is prepared from the documents provided to us. It depends on those documents being complete, authentic and legible, and on the accuracy of the published sources against which charges are measured. Published fee schedules, hospital price transparency files and benchmark data are maintained by third parties and may contain errors or be revised.

Do not send records through this site

The contact form is for initial business contact only. Do not submit protected health information, medical records, itemized bills, case files, privileged material, or any other confidential or sensitive material through this site. Records are exchanged only after an engagement agreement and, where applicable, a Business Associate Agreement are in place, and only through the secure channel we provide for that purpose.

If confidential material reaches us through this site anyway, we will delete it and will not use it, and its arrival creates no obligation on our part. See our Privacy Policy for how information submitted through the form is handled.

Acceptable use

Disclaimer of warranties

The site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to your use of this site will not exceed one hundred United States dollars ($100). Liability arising out of an engagement is governed exclusively by the engagement agreement for that matter, and this section does not extend, replace or waive anything in it.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Severability and survival

If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest will remain in effect. The sections headed No guarantee of outcome, Disclaimer of warranties, Limitation of liability, Indemnity, and Governing law and venue survive any end to your use of the site.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms. The “Last updated” date above reflects the current version.
