MDpanel
MDpanel is a Los Angeles-based aggregator of medical-legal evaluation services, operating a curated physician panel for insurance carriers and law firms.
MDpanel
MDpanel was founded to consolidate the fragmented medical-legal evaluation market. The firm recruits board-certified physicians across orthopedics, neurology, psychiatry, and internal medicine, vets them for forensic-reporting capability, and makes them available to claims organizations through a single point of contact. Its platform handles scheduling, record delivery, quality assurance, and report turnaround, replacing a process that historically ran through individual practitioner offices with ad hoc coordination. The firm's core asset is a curated panel of several hundred physicians spanning all major clinical specialties relevant to casualty and disability claims. MDpanel does not disclose aggregate deployment or revenue figures. Its operating structure combines a technology layer — a case-management portal that tracks evaluation milestones — with an in-house medical-director function that reviews reports for evidentiary weight before release. The geographic footprint centers on California, Texas, Florida, and the broader Sun Belt, where high claim volumes and tort environments concentrate demand for independent medical exams. Team size and ownership details remain private. MDpanel's backers include growth-equity investors focused on tech-enabled healthcare services, though the firm has not identified its capital partners by name in public records. In January 2025, the firm named a new chief technology officer to lead a platform modernization effort aimed at integrating AI-assisted chart summarization into the physician workflow (per MDpanel press release, January 2025). Structurally, MDpanel sits at the intersection of three slow-moving industries — medical practice, insurance, and litigation — and its differentiation depends on being faster than each of them individually. The firm competes against regional IME brokers, but its centralized panel model and technology investment create a scalable operating lever that mom-and-pop referral networks lack.

Frequently asked questions
What service does MDpanel actually provide?
MDpanel connects insurance carriers, third-party administrators, and law firms with board-certified physicians who perform independent medical evaluations. It handles scheduling, medical-record delivery, and quality review of the resulting reports, functioning as a single outsourced medical-legal department for claims organizations that would otherwise manage these relationships ad hoc.
How does MDpanel recruit and vet its physician panel?
The firm recruits physicians who are board-certified and have demonstrated competence in forensic report writing — a distinct skill from clinical practice. MDpanel employs medical directors who review finished evaluations for completeness, objectivity, and compliance with jurisdiction-specific reporting requirements before delivery to the client.
Which medical specialties does MDpanel cover?
The panel covers the specialties most commonly requested in casualty and disability claims: orthopedic surgery, neurology, psychiatry, internal medicine, pain management, and physical medicine and rehabilitation. The firm can also source sub-specialists on demand for complex cases requiring niche expertise.
In which geographies does MDpanel operate?
MDpanel's physician network is concentrated in high-volume claims jurisdictions — California, Texas, Florida, and other Sun Belt states — where tort environments and population density drive steady demand for independent medical evaluations. The firm can arrange evaluations in additional states through affiliated practitioners.
Who owns or backs MDpanel?
MDpanel has not publicly named its capital partners. Available evidence points to growth-equity backing from investors focused on tech-enabled healthcare services companies, but the ownership structure and investor roster remain undisclosed in public records.
