How much does the MedCo training cost?

We will be able to confirm this shortly once MedCo release details. This expense may be tax deductible as part of your business expenses.

Do MedCo reports need to be compliant with the Civil Procedure Rules Part 35 (2014)?

Yes. This is to ensure that whiplash experts write their reports in the full understanding that their duty is to the Court. This means that experts, amongst other things, sign a statement of truth that their report is impartial and meets other legal requirements in order to be used as evidence in court proceedings.

Do I have to have specific training in report writing to be registered with MedCo?

Yes. From April 2016 you must have completed the MedCo approved training in order to register with MedCo. If you are already registered with MedCo, you have until April 2016 to complete the approved training if you want to stay registered. The course is based online and you must complete and pass all elements.
