Independent Medical Exam (IME)
The IME is a definitive and one-time evaluation performed by an independent medical examiner not already associated with the case who is not treating the patient or claimant.It answers questions posed by the party requesting the IME as to diagnosis, treatment plan and prognosis. IMEs seek to resolve questions about a patient’s medical condition, including what treatment is or was necessary, what further diagnostics may be required and the degree, if any, of any potential permanent impairment.
The IME is a definitive clinical review by a medical expert specialist in the desired and related field. The comprehensive report is defensible, transparent and impartial.
