Question:

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for yesterday's email.  Can I receive compensation for the narrative report?

Answer:

Absolutely, you can ask for compensation for an opinion offering more than your medical record.  Technically you are offering additional material that may qualify as "expert" opinion, which warrants compensation at fair market value rates.   Now, if you are eventually called as a "fact" witness, you will not be entitled to compensation.
