Epiq helps our clients focus on advocating for their clients without getting bogged down by the back-office burden. Law firms often must hire and train temporary staff or assign their staff to handle these tasks. With Epiq, law firms can avoid the cost and time involved in hiring and training new staff, and free their permanent staff to work on substantive case issues.
Claims administration services include:

Case Adjudication and Award Allocation Support
Epiq designs and reviews medical record data to apply point-based allocation models to ensure similarly situated claimants are treated equitably and facilitates the fair and objective distribution of settlement proceeds.
Epiq’s expert team of attorneys and nurse reviewers have consulted on the development and administered injury award allocation criteria for more than 150,000 mass tort claimants. This team reviews:
- each submitted case for enrollment into the settlement in accordance with the MSA (Medicare Set Aside) and such process terms.
- against procedures set by the client or Special Master, issues notices of point or award determination, handles requests for reconsideration or appeal, and calculates payable amounts.
