Define the work before it begins
What counsel can ask for
A record-integrity analysis
A comparison of record versions, amendments, timestamps, and available audit-trail data, distinguishing observations from questions requiring further investigation.
A documentation-to-billing comparison
An organized comparison of claims, codes, and supporting documentation, with healthcare workflow issues explained in plain language.
A focused case discussion
An explanation of the findings, the available source material, and the limits of what that material supports. The deliverables are agreed for each engagement.
From enquiry to defined assignment
How an engagement starts
- Conflict and suitability review. Use the existing intake to introduce the matter at a high level. Do not attach records or include sensitive medical details in an ordinary email or text.
- Agree the scope. Define the questions, documents, deliverables, and fee arrangement in writing. Consulting and testimony are separate engagements.
- Transfer records securely. After conflict clearance and a signed agreement, use the individual secure upload instructions provided for the engagement.
- Review the evidence and its limits. The work addresses the agreed questions; missing records, uncertainties, and any proposed scope expansion are identified.

Separate the record from the inference
This fictional example shows the distinction a record review should preserve. It is not a past case, testimonial, or claim about an outcome.
| Source observation | What it supports | What remains unresolved |
|---|---|---|
| A note describes a 9:00 a.m. encounter; the displayed signature time is 4:30 p.m. | The displayed encounter and signature times differ. | When the text was created or edited; whether the system records those events separately. |
| A later export contains an addendum absent from an earlier export. | The supplied versions are different. | The addendum’s authorship, timing, and reason; relevant audit history may be needed. |
| No audit log accompanies either export. | The supplied record set lacks that source of evidence. | The absence of a supplied log does not establish fabrication or prove that no log exists. |
A clearly defined role
Litigation & Expert Support
Hive Advisory provides consulting support for attorneys, preliminary case assessment, record analysis, and chronology development. Acceptance of a consulting matter does not automatically constitute agreement to provide testimony. Formal expert declarations, depositions, and trial testimony are subject to separate screening and are executed only under a separate written agreement.
Before we begin
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with self-represented litigants?
Self-represented individuals may retain Hive Advisory for independent medical-record and healthcare analysis. Hive Advisory does not act as legal counsel and does not provide legal advice, draft legal claims, represent clients in court, determine litigation strategy, or guarantee outcomes. Not every inquiry will be accepted.
Do you provide legal advice?
No. Hive Advisory provides independent medical, healthcare, and record-analysis consulting. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal representation or legal advice. Clients remain responsible for legal deadlines and procedural requirements.
Can you determine whether a medical record was changed?
An audit trail and related metadata may help establish when a record was accessed, amended, signed, or corrected. The available information varies by EHR system and by what has been preserved or produced. We do not promise to prove fraud or record tampering.
What is an EHR audit trail?
An Electronic Health Record (EHR) audit trail can record events such as access, amendments, signatures, and edits, with timing and user information. The events captured and the detail available vary by system and by the export supplied.
What documents are needed?
We typically require complete sets of the medical records in question, billing/coding histories, provider notes, credentialing files, and when available, full EHR audit trails or system metadata logs.
How much does an initial review cost?
Initial individual engagements generally begin with a $2,500 advance retainer, billed against professional time at $350 per hour. The necessary time depends on the volume, organization, and complexity of the records. Hive will obtain authorization before materially expanding the scope.
Can you testify?
Yes, but acceptance of a consulting matter does not automatically constitute agreement to provide testimony. Formal expert witness reporting, deposition, and trial testimony are subject to separate screening and a distinct written agreement.
Is every case accepted?
No. All inquiries undergo a strict suitability and conflict review. We only accept matters where there is a clear analytical assignment, sufficient documentation, and no conflicts of interest.
How are sensitive records transferred?
Sensitive records are transferred exclusively via secure, individual client upload links provided after a conflict check is cleared and an engagement agreement is signed. We do not accept file uploads on public forms.
Can you work with my attorney?
Yes. Hive Advisory frequently coordinates with and supports retained legal counsel to prepare chronologies, analyze record metadata, and support expert witness strategies.
