Scheduling an Independent Medical Evaluation begins by submitting your referral along with any available case information. Once received, IME assigns a dedicated scheduler who manages the process from referral through report delivery.
Our team works directly with you, or with examinee’s attorney, physician offices, examinees, and other parties to coordinate scheduling, gather required documentation, monitor deadlines, and keep your case moving efficiently. Rather than simply arranging an appointment, IME manages the administrative process so your team can remain focused on the case itself.
To begin scheduling, we typically request examinee information, basic injury information, applicable deadlines, and any available medical records or supporting documentation.
Providing complete information early allows our schedulers to identify appropriate physician evaluators, minimize scheduling delays, and begin facilitating the case immediately. If additional documentation is needed, our team communicates those requests promptly to help keep the referral on track.
Scheduling timelines vary depending on physician specialty, geographic location, and case complexity. Many evaluations can be scheduled quickly, while more specialized referrals or remote locations may require additional coordination.
Integrated Medical Evaluations, Inc. actively manages the scheduling process rather than waiting for availability updates. Our coordinators communicate with all parties throughout scheduling and work to identify the earliest appropriate appointment while meeting your requested deadlines.
Managing deadlines is one of the most important parts of our process. From the moment a referral is received, we monitor report deadlines, coordinate required documentation, and communicate proactively with everyone involved.
Our team anticipates potential delays before they become problems and work with physician offices and clients to keep cases moving appropriately. This structured approach helps reduce administrative burden while supporting timely case progression.
The records needed for an IME vary by case, but commonly include medical records, diagnostic imaging, prior evaluations, operative reports, and other relevant documentation.
We assist in organizing and preparing records so physicians receive complete, well-structured information before the evaluation and in the manner of their preference. Proper record preparation helps reduce delays, minimizes follow-up requests, and creates a more efficient scheduling process for everyone involved.
