Independent Medical Examination

An Independent Medical Examination (IME) pairs a complete record review with a hands-on physical examination of the claimant by a specialty-matched physician — producing an objective assessment of the injury, impairment, and need for ongoing treatment.

Independent Medical Examination

What Independent Medical Examination Delivers

When a paper review is not enough, an IME puts a specialty-matched physician face to face with the claimant. The physician evaluates the current condition, tests the claimed limitations, and reconciles the examination findings against the documented history.

The result is an objective, well-supported opinion — stated neutrally, without prediction of outcome — that helps you evaluate the true extent of impairment and the necessity of treatment.

What's included

  • In-person examination by a specialty-matched physician
  • Objective assessment of injury and impairment
  • Evaluation of treatment necessity and disability claims
  • Scheduling quoted per matter, nationwide

Availability: Our physicians can review records and schedule exams on any required timeframe. Turnaround is quoted and committed for your specific matter.
