INDEPENDENT MEDICAL EVALUATIONS (IME) |
||||
Independent medical evaluations are examinations performed by a physician who is not involved in the care of the examinee. The purpose is to clarify issues associated with the case. There is no treating physician/patient relationship established when an IME is performed. IME's are utilized by a variety of sources, including insurers, attorneys and other individuals involved in the case management of worker's compensation, personal injury and disability claims. The independent physician will provide a complete examination and assessment that will be delivered to the requesting party in the form of a report. LEGAL NURSE CONSULTANT InMedical, Inc. offers a comprehensive selection of nursing-legal services to meet the needs of your cases. A legal nurse consultant (LNC) will analyze records, evaluate the case, and render informed opinions. An LNC is a registered nurse who brings a health science education and clinical expertise to healthcare related issues that arise during the claims or litigation process. The LNC will assist in delineating the complex medical issues of your case, while saving you time and money. More on LNC ON-LINE NURSE CONSULTING InMedical, Inc. has expanded their services to include On-line Nurse Consulting.

In order to determine a fair disability percentage, our physicians will do an in-depth physical examination and review of records.

This is often utilized to assess the fitness of people who have non work-related conditions such as diabetes, arthritis and stroke.
