Independent Medical Examinations are performed by credentialed physicians, rather than the treating medical provider, in order to establish an informed medical expert opinion on the validity & nature of a diagnosis.

In preparation, all medical records are collected and questions prepared for the IME physician medical examiner to ensure all the relevant issues are addressed.

If it comes to arbitration or litigation, then medical legal expert testimony by IME physicians offers an informed evidence based opinion about the questions of a case.
