The core value of independent medical evaluation services lies in their objectivity and neutrality. This impartiality is critical in resolving disputes where medical opinions from treating physicians may conflict. By providing an unbiased perspective, IMEs help ensure that decisions regarding claims and benefits are based on accurate medical assessments. In workers\ compensation claims, for example, an IME can verify the extent of an employee\s injury and determine the appropriate level of compensation. Similarly, for disability claims, an IME can objectively assess an individual\s disability status and their ability to work, providing essential information for benefit determinations.
