CareWorks USA understands that IMEs are used in adversarial hearings. Objective findings are what you need. Our guidelines ensure credible IME outcomes for our clients:

• IME appointment promptly coordinated within 48 hours of receipt of referral.
• Designated Registered Nurses (RNs) review medical history, clearly outlining the goals of your IME.
• You approve the IME letter prior to it being sent out to a physician, ensuring all appropriate issues and opinions are addressed.
• Access to a national network of IME physicians for exams and file reviews.
• Panel of more than 350 doctors representing all specialties (orthopedic, psychiatry, neurology, chiropractic and others).
• Employee is notified via certified and regular mail, helping ensure delivery confirmation of appointment information.
• Confirmation of attendance at IME appointment, including rescheduling when necessary.
• Telephonic follow-up to ensure prompt receipt of IME Report.
• Designated RNs conduct Quality Assurance Reviews of all IME Reports, ensuring questions and issues have been addressed, certainty of opinions clarified and basis for opinions provided.
• Saves the employer account time and administrative costs in setting up an IME. Employers can request that a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) be conducted in conjunction with an IME, if desired.
