About MDpanel

MDpanel is one of the largest providers of expert medical opinions in the United States, with a mission to be the most trusted and sought-after partner for physicians, carriers, attorneys, and patients. Our model is designed to create compelling, sustainable revenue opportunities for healthcare professionals while removing the operational friction that traditionally comes with medical-legal work.

Through the industry’s only end-to-end provider technology platform, MDpanel handles the full administrative lifecycle of a case, allowing physicians to focus on clinical evaluation and judgment. The result is timely, thorough, and clearly articulated medical opinions that meet the needs of all stakeholders.

MDpanel is further advancing the medical opinion space by building the first true marketplace that efficiently connects those who need expert medical opinions with those best qualified to provide them. Together, these capabilities enable physicians to build a meaningful medical opinion practice—one that, for many, can rival or exceed the economics of their clinical practice (up to $500k+)
