Compliance & Regulations

Regulatory Disclaimers

Last updated: May 2026

1. Not a Medical Referral Service

LexDoc IQ is a private enterprise software application developed to manage and optimize institutional case records for law firms. LexDoc IQ is not a Medical Referral Service under California Labor Code Section 139.3 or California Business and Professions Code. The system does not recommend, steer, or promote specific medical practitioners.

2. Objective Crowdsourced Ratings

All scoring metrics, favorability indicators, and "LexDoc Scores" displayed within the software are generated programmatically using crowdsourced feedback, response times, and peer-reviewed evaluations inputted exclusively by authorized users within licensed law firms. LexDoc IQ does not charge practitioners fees to be listed, updated, or boosted in directory search results.

3. QME Neutrality & Strike Panels

Under California Workers' Compensation regulations, Qualified Medical Evaluators (QME) are state-appointed independent neutral practitioners. LexDoc IQ provides geographic distance calculations, specialty alignment checks, and firm-wide historical report-speed tracking to help legal teams evaluate issued QME panels during the statutory 10-day strike window. The software does not influence the random panel generation process handled by the California Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC).

4. Personal Injury Medical Liens

Specialists listed as accepting medical liens do so in compliance with standard California civil litigation guidelines. LexDoc IQ verifies active licensing statuses with state boards but does not guarantee the admissibility of reports or final lien recovery amounts. Legal teams are solely responsible for verifying fee schedules and billing agreements directly with individual provider offices.

5. Independent Verification Required

While LexDoc IQ programmatically cross-references provider licensing with state medical boards, information can change rapidly. All users are strongly encouraged to independently verify NPI registries, active board standing, and compliance metrics before confirming a medical-legal evaluation or treatment plan.
