What Physician Life Care Planning does

Physician Life Care Planning (PLCP) is a physician-driven professional services firm that prepares damages valuation deliverables for personal injury litigation. The company produces life care plans, medical cost assessments, present value assessments, loss of earnings assessments, and loss of household services assessments, drawing on a nationwide network of more than 90 board-certified physicians (primarily in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation) covering 26+ states. Its underlying methodology follows the American Academy of Physician Life Care Planners' Tenets, Methods, and Best Practices, formalized in its branded ClearView Process (Commence, Fulfill, Assess & Attend). Through wholly owned subsidiary Periscope Software, LLC, PLCP operates the Previdi platform, which allows some law firm clients to submit records and request plans digitally.

PLCP serves primarily personal injury plaintiff and defense law firms nationwide, engaging through direct consultation and supported by a complementary Continuing Legal Education program for attorneys. Revenue is generated via professional services fees with 'low, transparent, fixed pricing,' and a standard 6-week turnaround per engagement. The company is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, operates as a private Texas LLC, and employs 101–250 staff. In February 2026, PLCP acquired Medivest, a Medicare Secondary Payer compliance and MSA administration provider, extending the platform into post-settlement Medicare compliance and broadening its buyer base to include insurers and claims administrators. No public revenue, funding, or ownership disclosures are available.
