For over 27 years VERA Medical has been providing expert opinions to insurance companies, employers, and
both defense and plaintiff lawyers. Our extensive network of senior medical and paramedical
specialists provides authoritative evidence-based clarity.
We collaborate with specialized organizations to provide clients access to assessments, testing, and occupational health services.
VERA Medical embraces what we call the Medical Model in all we do – our focus is always where it belongs, on the individual.
We believe early evidence-based intervention is the key to success –
Doing the Right Thing at the Right Time.
We do IMEs for a number of reasons, but the first one is to establish a diagnosis. We must recognize that it is philosophically impossible to prove that 'something' is not present.
Because of the difficulty in ruling out disease, we rely on medical judgement to form a supportable opinion, without the risk of medicalization.
Premier Research & Consulting Inc. specializes in the review of Workers' Compensation claims to ensure
that employer responsibility is minimized. Over the past 6 years we are proud to have partnered with
VERA Medical for the purpose of obtaining expert medical evaluations and testimony. Our
needs are very specific and are met with professionalism in all aspects of disability related issues. The
reporting is thorough and in many cases provides additional insight used to overturn previous decisions
providing tremendous benefit to our clients. We highly recommend VERA Medical for any disability
related issue requiring an Independent Medical Examination.
