Independent Medical Assessments, or independent medical examinations/evaluations (IME), are a medical assessment conducted by qualified medical specialists. Our specialists have no prior treatment relationship with the client or examinee, ensuring the IME remains impartial.
Independent medical assessments provide unbiased opinions on medical conditions for personal injury, public liability or workers’ compensation matters. They can help clarify diagnosis, evaluate impairment and establish liability.
An independent medical assessment is an objective, unbiased opinion designed to help employers, insurers and legal professionals make informed decisions during a claims process.
