Pros: Assists with medical recordkeeping for patients with complex medical conditions. The site offers advocacy information as well as a care map and record summary.

Cons: Fees are not stated. Past reviews showed services beginning at $500, but now all fee information has been removed. A brief investigation reveals fees ranging from $500- $1,100 in a record from 2007.

The Bottomline: For a patient dealing with a complex medical condition that requires professional assistance in collating information, reviewing for consistency, and education regarding conditions, Lynxcare offers a valuable service. The downside is the unclear fee schedule.
