In healthcare litigation and insurance operations, speed without accuracy is a liability.
As the volume, diversity, and sensitivity of medical and legal records increase, organizations can no longer afford to treat record retrieval as a clerical task.
Instead, it must be a structured, secure, and strategic function, embedded into the core of case management workflows.
This is where records retrieval solutions—not simply services—become mission-critical.
At Mangalam, we’ve supported the U.S.-based healthcare and legal enterprises since 2004 with a comprehensive offshore model for Records Retrieval, Organizing & Summarization.
With more than two decades of experience and a team that processes over 100,000 pages daily, our approach is designed for those who demand speed but cannot compromise on compliance, traceability, or cost.
Why Turnaround Time Is More Than Just a Metric
In medical-legal ecosystems, “turnaround time” is not a convenience—it’s a cornerstone.
- For legal teams, delays in obtaining or organizing medical records impact discovery, negotiations, and trial preparedness.
- For insurance providers, extended wait times delay claim adjudication and increase administrative burden.
- For healthcare providers, sluggish retrieval can mean non-compliance with state and federal regulations, including HIPAA and payer policies.
But speed must be accompanied by precision—especially when you’re dealing with handwritten notes, specialty terminology, varying provider systems, and complex authorizations.
That’s why true record retrieval solutions go far beyond faxing and follow-ups.

A Systematic Approach to High-Volume Record Retrieval
Mangalam offers a 24x7x365 record retrieval model, built with both legal admissibility and operational efficiency in mind.
Here’s what sets our method apart:
1. Strategic Request Initiation
- Validation of HIPAA forms: scope, signatures, expiration dates, and legal authorization.
- Pre-submission checks on provider details to ensure the first request is the final request.
- Detailed order entry, with embedded special instructions to reduce miscommunication.
2. Intelligent Provider Engagement
- Dedicated U.S.-trained call center of 900+ professionals.
- Confirmation of request receipt, prepayment tracking, and turnaround expectation documentation.
- Provider rapport building, which improves access rates and encourages cooperation—especially critical in high-volume, repeat-case environments.
3. Verification and Chain-of-Custody Integrity
- Every record received is matched against original requests using multi-field validation: patient name, date of birth, SSN.
- Strict documentation trail maintained, supporting audit-readiness and legal scrutiny.
This end-to-end rigor ensures organizations don’t just receive records—they receive defensible, complete, and case-ready documentation.
Records Organization: From Chaos to Case-Readiness
Unstructured records aren’t just inefficient—they’re dangerous.
Missing data, out-of-order pages, and inconsistent formatting create bottlenecks in review, billing, and litigation.
Mangalam’s Records Organizing and Chronology Services standardize documentation according to client-specific or regulatory structures:
- Grouping by document type: Progress Notes, Lab Results, Radiology, Physical Therapy, Physician Orders, and more.
- Segmentation by provider or encounter.
- Integration with downstream systems (e.g., client case management tools).
This allows attorneys and adjusters to navigate documents quickly, prioritize key information, and reduce manual preprocessing by internal teams.
Medical Record Summarization: Expertise That Scales
One of the most labor-intensive aspects of litigation and insurance work is extracting insights from voluminous and often fragmented medical records.
Mangalam offers specialized Medical Record Summarization Services, tailored for law firms, insurance carriers, and third-party administrators:
- Narrative Summaries for clear, case-oriented storytelling.
- Annotated Summaries with page references and context.
- Customized and Hyperlinked Summaries for deeper workflow integration.
- Keyword extraction and timeline generation for high-stakes litigation preparation.
All summaries are produced by trained professionals fluent in clinical terminology, ICD/CPT coding frameworks, and legal formatting standards.
The goal isn’t just to reduce reading time—it’s to elevate analytical clarity.
