Have any of you ever done this type of work as a side-gig? Pitfalls to look out for?

What is the purpose of the chart review? Billing, quality of care, expert opinion? Need more details.

They retroactively deny services. I do it. It's disturbing. It doesn't pay particularly well, but you can do it at home.

Looked into it. Couldn’t find many places who wanted EM docs. The places that do workers comp and disability seem pretty desperate for folks but that seemed like fairly miserable work.

Is it standard for them to provide you with "errors and omissions" insurance or did you get your own policy.

Yeah I'm mostly just thinking of doing it for an "education" in this stuff and a little spending money on the side.

Lots of opportunities for air transport reviews. Definitely educational. Yes, they should provide errors and omissions insurance.

Air transport reviews? Do tell!

These are expensive, insurances seem to deny some of them. Then they get reviewed.

How does one get involved in such?
