Summary:  Every personal injury claimant submits medical records and bills to support their claim.  Those records and bills hold a wealth of information.  From unusual ICD-10 codes, health insurance information,  and pre-existing prescriptions, all of this information is hiding in plain sight if you know where to look.  In this presentation, we will look at several claims and identify clues found in the medical records and bills.
