What do Independent Medical Examiner Physicians do?
Independent Medical Examiner (IME) physicians conduct one-time, unbiased medical evaluations to provide an opinion on a person’s condition, often for insurance companies, employers, or attorneys.
They review medical records, perform a physical examination, and assess the severity of an injury, the appropriateness of treatment, and the ability to return to work.
This evaluation helps resolve disputes over claims and can affect decisions on benefits, disability, and legal cases.
What they do
Conduct a one-time evaluation: An IME is a single-visit assessment, unlike the ongoing care provided by a treating physician.
Provide an unbiased opinion: The doctor is a neutral third party with no ongoing relationship with the patient, employer, or insurance company.
Review medical history: They will thoroughly review the patient’s medical records and history, including prior injuries.
Perform an examination: The examiner will perform a physical and/or emotional evaluation, which may include specific tests.
Assess the injury and treatment: They determine the cause, severity, and nature of the injury and evaluate if the recommended or received treatment is appropriate.
Determine work capability: They assess whether a person can return to their job duties, a key factor in workers’ compensation cases.
Provide expert testimony: An IME may be required to testify in depositions or court to provide expert opinion on the findings.
What they don’t do
- They don’t have any ongoing relationships with the patient
- They don’t provide any medical treatment.
- They don’t prescribe medication.
- They don’t recommend future treatment or care.
