Independent Medical Examination (IME)

An independent medical examination (IME) is a regulated healthcare professional’s objective, unbiased evaluation of a patient. An IME seeks to assist in resolving disagreements and to validate a person’s benefits, coverage, or settlements. Case managers, attorneys, employers, and claims adjudicators frequently ask for it.

Our medical examinations offer a full, unbiased evaluation of your illness or condition to support the claims procedure, aid in your recovery, and help you regain daily function.

An IME is typically undertaken when a person has been out of work for a while, when a claim is in dispute, or when there are concerns about the suggested course of a person’s rehabilitation program. At this point, our physicians can conduct a single or multidisciplinary exam, frequently in conjunction with a Functional Abilities Evaluation, and give the unbiased judgment required to advance the process.

Medical Assessment Services

Medical assessment services are a range of services that evaluate an individual’s physical and mental health to provide a diagnosis or to determine their fitness for a particular purpose. The specific assessments required will depend on the individual’s needs and the purpose of the assessment.

Medical Legal (Medicolegal) Assessments

Working with both plaintiff and defence counsel, our highly experienced assessors deliver transparent, evidence-based medical reports, opinions and evaluations to the courts, helping lawyers to better quantify the impact of their findings and determinations.
