Verdict at a glance

Recommended for

Personal injury and workers' comp firms on a supported case management system.

Bottom line

A good fit for injury and comp firms on a supported CMS. Put the $49.95 pass-through in your engagement letter, set a cost cap, and build client follow-up on EHR authorizations into intake.

A medical record retrieval service built by a high-volume injury firm and integrated with case management systems, including Clio and CasePeer. Records, invoices and notes flow back into the matter. It uses EHR access where available, with no provider fees on those requests, and traditional requests otherwise. It charges $49.95 per record request plus provider fees, with no monthly subscription, and posts the fees to the client's expense account.

Not for

Firms not on an integrated CMS, or firms that retrieve only a few records a year.

Quick answer

Bottom line: Records On Time is for personal injury, workers' comp and similar firms on a supported case management system that want medical record retrieval off staff desks. It charges $49.95 per record request plus provider fees at cost, with no provider fees on EHR retrievals and no monthly subscription (vendor claims checked October 15, 2026). There's no trial; you start with a demo. The trap: the $49.95 is a pass-through posted to the client's expenses, so it belongs in your engagement letter. Rules vary by state; check yours. The EHR savings depend on the client finishing the portal authorization.

What this means for you: update your engagement letter, set a cost cap, and build EHR-authorization follow-up into intake.

  • Delivery into the matter: records and bills OCR'd into documents, costs into expenses, communications into notes.
  • EHR retrieval where available, which the vendor says can deliver same day once the client authorizes; traditional HIPAA-authorization requests otherwise, averaging about 21 days by the vendor's figure.

Fees are added automatically to the client's expense account in your case management system, and you can set a cost cap so larger provider invoices need approval.
