Insurers assess alignment. Legal processes move into waiting periods that are largely silent.<\/p>\n<p>This phase is marked by uncertainty rather than action.<\/p>\n<p>Doctors often find this period more taxing than the beginning \u2014 not because of workload, but because of the lack of feedback.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Extended Phase: Years (Sometimes)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some matters resurface long after they seem dormant.<\/p>\n<p>Requests for clarification.
