There is an online consultation form with questions [at](at www.NexusLetters.com)[ ](at www.NexusLetters.com)[www.NexusLetters.com](at www.NexusLetters.com), you can email Dr. Finnerty or call him. Dr. Finnerty does not charge for email exchanges about your case. He also does not charge for phone calls about your case that last less than 30 minutes; any phone calls lasting more than 30 minutes may be charged at Dr. Finnerty’s hourly rate of $160. This charge will not occur without being arranged with Dr. Finnerty first. A long phone call is not required. Dr. Finnerty will try to determine whether it is likely that he will be able to write a nexus letter for you in advance of initiating services and billing you, however he will not know with certainty whether he can write a nexus letter until he reviews all of the records that you provide to him. While the outcome of the free consultation will be to predict the chances that he may be able to write a letter for you, there is no guarantee that he will be able to write the letter.  \nYour medical and military records  \nDr. Finnerty prefers to have all records that you can send to him. The more records that you can give to Dr. Finnerty the better his opinion may be. Having all your records may also influence whether Dr. Finnerty’s opinions are accepted by the VA. Dr. Finnerty does not currently charge based on the number of pages you have for your review. You are encouraged to give Dr. Finnerty all the records that you have in your possession regardless of whether you think they are relevant.  \nNo Guarantees  \nThere is no guarantee that the Department of Veterans Affairs will rely upon or accept Dr. Finnerty’s opinion for your disability claim. Dr. Finnerty does not charge Veterans based on the outcome of their case and the fee for a records review is required regardless of the eventual outcome of a case.  \nIndependent opinion  \nThe results of the medical records review may or may not be helpful to you personally; Dr. Finnerty will offer an independent opinion related to your disability claim. The records review is not for treatment purposes and you will not become Dr. Finnerty’s patient. Dr. Finnerty may begin reviewing your records and determine that he cannot support the opinion you may be looking for.  \nFees  \nThe fee for a records review and report is currently $600; Dr. Finnerty may change this fee at any time. However, Dr. Finnerty will not raise the fee that you were quoted when you first contact him and the fee for you will remain $600. The entire $600 fee is due to Dr. Finnerty in advance prior to Dr. Finnerty performing the records review and writing a report. Dr. Finnerty performs records reviews on a firstcome-first-served basis based on the date when Dr. Finnerty received both the medical records and  \npayment from a Veteran, though some exceptions can be made for individuals with a tight deadline on a case by case basis. If during the course of a records review Dr. Finnerty determines that he will not be able to write you a favorable report he will discontinue working on the case and only bill you for the time he has spent on the case at his hourly rate of $160 per hour (with a minimum charge of one hour at $160) . If Dr. Finnerty is unable to write a nexus letter from your medical records one option may be to attend an examination in Columbus, Ohio.  \nIf you would like to pursue an in-person examination with Dr. Finnerty the fee for that service is $900. The in-person examination includes a records ","cbCaibtSgOCLK9bG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibtSgOCLK9bG","pdf",158793,"English","# Policies and Informed Consent\n## Online Form and Free Consultations\n## Your Medical and Military Records\n## No Guarantees\n## Independent Opinion\n## Fees\n## Refunds\n## Your Privacy","[{\"question\":\"What does agreeing to Dr. Finnerty’s services include?\",\"answer\":\"By paying for and agreeing to accept Dr. Finnerty’s services, you also agree to his policies and consent to him performing a records review for your Nexus Letter request.\"},{\"question\":\"How are fees for records review and in-person examination determined?\",\"answer\":\"The records review fee is $600 and is due in advance.
