What is an Independent Medical Examination?

There’s no room for error in Independent Medical Exams (IMEs) for insurance or legal purposes.

It’s essential that the health of the patient, who may be a claimant after an injury, or of applicant looking for a visa, is accurately recorded. Failure to hire a professional interpreter with extensive training in medical terminology and fluency in both the medical examiner and patients’ languages, could result in placing your client’s claim at risk of annulment from inconsistency or translating errors. We can provide you with an in-person IME interpreter in as little as 24 hours’ notice, or an over-the-phone interpreter in any language, around the clock.

The IME Process

The IME process is designed to be thorough and impartial, ensuring an accurate assessment of the patient’s condition. It typically begins with a detailed review of the patient’s medical history, followed by a physical examination. The examining physician will also review relevant medical records and may order additional diagnostic tests or consult with other medical specialists. This comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of the patient’s health are considered, providing a clear and unbiased evaluation. The goal of the IME process is to resolve disputes and ensure that patients receive the necessary medical treatment and benefits based on an objective assessment of their condition.

IME Report Components

An IME report is a detailed document that includes several key components essential for providing a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s medical condition. These components typically include:

  • A detailed medical history of the patient: This section provides background information on the patient’s health and any previous medical issues.
  • A physical examination report: This part details the findings from the physical examination conducted during the IME.
  • A review of relevant medical records: This includes an analysis of past medical documents to provide context and support the current assessment.
  • A summary of the patient’s current medical condition: This section offers an overview of the patient’s health status at the time of the examination.
  • An assessment of the patient’s eligibility for disability benefits: This evaluates whether the patient qualifies for disability benefits based on their medical condition.
  • A recommendation for future medical treatment: This provides guidance on the necessary medical care and interventions moving forward.

IME reports are often used in legal proceedings, insurance claims, and workers’ compensation cases to provide an objective and thorough evaluation of a patient’s medical condition.

Because even the smallest error can place your claimant’s application at risk, our experienced IME interpreters will ensure that every last question and detail is properly translated and understood by both parties, in compliance with FDA regulations. Accurate and timely reports are crucial for legal documentation, which is why our legal transcription services are designed to meet the highest standards.

Your IME with a foreign patient will go smoothly with transparent communication, led by an impartial IME expert interpreter who understand the procedure; not the patient’s relative or friend who has no medical training. Hiring a professional IME interpreter over the phone or in-person is essential to ensure:

  • Perfect understanding of questions and concepts by both parties
  • Efficient, fast communication between speakers of two different languages
  • Avoid placing your firm at risk of liability due to non-professional interpretation
