An Independent Medical Examination is a key tool in verifying the existence and severity of a medical issue — such as illness or injury. Employers, disability insurers, and lawyers in particular can rapidly obtain invaluable clarity regarding a particular case.
Employers can use an IME to ensure a safe and healthy return to work, understand what accommodations may be necessary, and get answers if the process is dragging on for months.
Disability insurers can get insight into the extent of a disability in order to make the correct decision when handling difficult claims. And lawyers are able to get vital information for personal injury suits that can make all the difference in the courtroom.
