Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs) are completed by an Occupational Medicine
physician and include a thorough file review and physical
examination.
We use IME Create, a web-based
software to organize and prepare our reports.
Independent medical evaluations
are requested for a variety of purposes, including:
Medical case resolution
Prolonged medical care extending beyond estimated treatment
plan for injury

diagnosis
Providing recommendation regarding excessive treatment or
medication
