Editing the Configuration File for Mass Tort Cases

SettLiT now offers an efficient way to filter and organize extensive health data for your clients. This guide walks you through the steps to manage configuration files seamlessly within the SettLiT portal. 

Example:Talc MT

Here’s how SettLiT streamlines the process for the Talc MT:

1. Create Configuration Categories:

   • Proof of Injury: ICD C53.9 – Malignant Neoplasm: Cervix Uteri, Unspecified (Priority 1)
   • Other Cancers: Keyword "Neoplasm" (Priority 2)

2. Data Filtering:

   • When reviewing client data, SettLiT highlights entries matching ICD C53.9 as primary proof of injury, while general “Neoplasm” mentions are categorized under other cancers for further evaluation.
   • Uncategorized Data: Any data not assigned to a specific category will automatically appear under the "Other" category, ensuring no information is overlooked.

This ensures your team prioritizes the strongest claims while keeping track of secondary conditions.
